Hello Everyone,
Today we woke to a little bit of wind but clear skies and another fantastic hike to Barranco. We also went to a new high point of 15,300ft at Lava Tower before descending down 2,300ft. Everyone is doing very well with the altitude and spirits are high.

Talk to you tomorrow,
Ben Jones
