8-day Lemosho team arrives to Barranco camp

Posted on January 23, 2026

Hello Everyone,

The team is doing great! Yesterday we had a great hike to Moir camp reaching 13,500ft. We had perfect weather for most of the day and just a quick shower of rain once we arrived to camp. The team is doing excellent with the altitude and today we reached almost 15,000ft breaking new altitude records for a lot of the team. Again today we had perfect weather with the usual clouds rolling up the mountain in the afternoon but no rain yet today. Today’s hike ascends and descends as we are traversing across the southern part of Kilimanjaro. Tonight’s camp is at 13,000ft and set in a beautiful cirque looking straight up to the walls and ice and snow of Kilimanjaro. I will update again tomorrow once we reach Karanga camp at 13,300ft.

Thanks for following along,

Ben

CYBERCASTS

Alpine Ascents provides family and friends the opportunity to follow our climbs as they proceed. Utilizing state-of-the-art technology, we receive regular audio dispatches from the climbers and post them on our website. Not only does one feel the excitement of watching a team as it moves up the mountain, the archived cybercasts provide an excellent resource and learning tool when researching expeditions. Please note that we do not update our cybercast over weekends or holidays.

I did enjoy the expedition very much. Everything was well-organized. Eric is a great guide. The team was amazing. The food too : ) Eric is an amazing guide. I learnt so much from him. He definitely helped me to reach the top. Also he took us for two wonderful dinners. Finally, Eric seemed to work a great network of Tanzanians.
