8-day Lemosho team arrives to Barranco camp

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
