Team: Kili Drips heading for the summit

Hello Everyone,

Yesterday we had a short hike from Barranco to Karanga camp. It’s a fun hiking day getting to climb the Barranco Wall and ascending and descending to Karanga camp at 13,300ft. We had the afternoon to rest and to start to prepare for our upcoming summit day.

Today we hike from Karanga to Kosovo camp which is at almost 16,000ft where we will set off for the summit tonight at 1am. The group is doing really well and feeling strong. We look forward to get to the Rood of Africa tonight! I will report back once we have descended down to our last camp tomorrow afternoon at Mweka Camp.

Thanks for following along!
