Jambo friends, family and loved ones,
We said goodbye to beautiful Karanga camp and hello to good weather. 
The time passed quickly as we climbed this huge volcano and before we knew it we’d arrived at Barafu Camp which is where most stay before their Summit attempt. 
We are feeling strong so we pushed on for another hour and made camp at approximately 16,000 feet. This should put in a great position to top tomorrow morning at sunrise. 
The crater rim is hiding behind the clouds and the trail is quite clearly defined. It’s 4 pm and we’re hitting the sleeping bags so we can arise at 11pm for a midnight start on our summit push. Wish us luck!
All our best,Vern Tejas
