Hello Everyone,
Today was another beautiful day of hiking and weather! We made our way from Shira camp after all the other groups had left and hiked to Baranco camp in 6.5 hours. The team is acclimatizing well and feeling good. We’ll be resting at camp for a bit staring straight up at Kilimanjaro before dinner. Tomorrow we climb the Baranco wall and head over to Karanga camp. Our elevation tonight at Baranco camp is 13,300ft.
Thanks for following along,
Ben Jones
