Kilimanjaro: Tucker & Team Arrive at Barafu High Camp

July 21, 2019

Posted by: Mark Tucker

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Kilimanjaro

Elevation: 15,000'

A few clouds to the morning but after another nutritious breakfast we set out toward High Camp. We marched up the broad tilted plateau concentrating on efficient techniques in walking and breathing. Things steepened just a bit as we came to the final ridge. We all were feeling strong as we arrived in Barafu our High Camp at 15,000'. We enjoyed a great lunch and held a meeting about strategy for the summit bid. We are busy packing up for an early dinner, bed by 6 pm and wake up around midnight. The team is in great shape and can't wait to get started. RMI Guide Mark Tucker
