Hello! This is Don Carpenter with the July 20th Kili trip and we are installed here at high camp. It’s July 27th, it’s about 2:30 in the afternoon and having another good day. The weather’s been beautiful, folks are doing well. We left camp at 8am, moved nice and slowly and efficiently, and rolled into high camp here at Kosovo Camp, at around 1 o’clock in the afternoon. And yeah, that’s about 4800 meters so we’re getting up there.
Everybody’s feeling great, and we just got into our tents and had a little bit of relaxation and then we had lunch at 1:30, big big meal, everybody’s eating well. And now we’re just relaxing, as we’re going to have an early night tonight for our summit attempt. So the plan for this evening, we’re going to get up at 5pm for dinner, an early dinner, brace ourselves for the summit. And try and get a few hours of sleep. Then we’ll wake up at about 11pm, have some breakfast, and be walking shortly after midnight for our summit attempt. The weather looks great so far, it’s sunny and calm up high and a big sea of clouds below us, but we’re well above those clouds so…
We shall call you tomorrow, after our summit day and everyone’s doing well and feeling strong, so should have good news to report. Talk to you later, bye!
