Hello everyone this is team Lakpa’s dirty dozen checking in from Karanga camp. 13,300ft. It was another beautiful hike descending down from lava tower to Barranco camp along the trail we came cross couple of waterfalls and beautiful lobelia and tall senecio trees losing couple thousand ft. From barranco camp we ascent the famous barranco wall topping up 14,500ft. Then we continue Traversing to Karanga camp. It took us about 6 hours of hike. it was pretty clear in the morning and we had great views of Kilimanjaro than soon enough the clouds rolled in and started raining in the evening but dirty dozen is on top of the game of staying warm and dry. We are 18,000ft lower than last night and every one is fell the thicker air and hoping to sleep better tonight. Our plan for tomorrow is hike up to last camp (Kosovo camp)15,800ft Thank you for following with us. Lakpa rita
