Kilimanjaro: Hahn and Team Reach Barafu Camp
It was a pretty start to the day down at Karanga Camp. There were just enough clouds around to make the sunrise colorful, but not enough clouds to make us worry about the weather. It was calm and clear when we walked uphill just after 8 AM. The path upward was an easy one, on broad open slopes. Our gang had no trouble matching Naiman’s pace and in just a few hours we were going up the final, slightly steeper, slopes to Barafu Camp. As fast as we were, our support crew was faster still and we moved into a fine camp and took shelter from the strong midday sun in our tents. Tosha served up a great lunch and then the team sat for a detailed meeting about the big climb and how to prepare for it. This all left plenty of time for resting through the afternoon in preparation for our “alpine start” tonight. In s few minutes we will chow down on an early dinner at 5 o’clock… Spaghetti! And then we will go to bed before the sun sets at 6:30.
We’ve got big plans for the night!
Best Regards,
RMI Guide Dave Hahn & Team
