Kilimanjaro: Hahn and Team Reach High Camp

August 17, 2024

Elevation: 15,200'

Barafu. High Camp, 15,200 ft, poised for the summit push. We are into some nice weather now. It was calm and clear and not all that cold this morning at Karanga Camp. After another of chef Tosha’s wonderful mountain breakfasts, we set out for high camp. Naiman led the way today, taking us up broad and easy terrain for the first hour or so. Above 14,000 ft the trail got a little more rocky and narrow in places but it wasn’t giving our seasoned team any real trouble. We took a couple of long and lazy rest breaks today so that our staff of porters and camp builders could get out ahead. Even so, we were walking into Barafu by 11 AM. This gave plenty of time for resting and rehydrating and strategizing for tonight’s climb.

It’ll be an early dinner and then early to bed for this team. We hope to launch for the summit at midnight. All systems are go.

Best Regards,

RMI Guide Dave Hahn & Team
