Kilimanjaro: Tucker & Team Climb Barranco Wall, Ascend to Karanga Camp
The group is doing great after a strong showing on the trail today. We are at Karanga Valley which sits at 13,100' and is our last stop before Kilimanjaro's High Camp.
We tackled the Barranco Wall this morning and had a very smooth ascent up the steep slopes. When we were about 2/3 of the way up we could look back down on last night's camp which looked like a camp for ants. The rest of the way felt like it was a dance off with a bunch of ups and downs.
A few clouds made for very comfortable climbing conditions and a picturesque setting. No sooner did we arrive to camp than a two minute rain shower began, luckily we had our tents for shelterr and more big mountain story when we get home.
We're all relaxing now before dinner and tomorrow we head up to Barafu camp at 15,000'.
