Team climbs to Baranco Camp 13,000 ft

 

Hello Everyone,

Today we woke again to beautiful blue skies after a good nights sleep.  The team is doing great with the altitude and enjoying the team and great weather we have had so far.  Our hike today brought us up to almost 15,000ft before descending down to Baranco camp at 13,000ft.  After a late lunch we have been resting and enjoying great views of the mountain towering above.  Shortly we will head back into the dining tent for dinner and then back to our tents for a nights rest.  Tomorrow we will head around the mountain a little to Karanga camp at 13,300ft, but first we need to climb the Baranco wall….

Thanks for following along,

Ben Jones
