Phunuru reports another gorgeous day on Kilimanjaro. The team all did well, ascending to Lava Tower Camp (4600m / 15000 ft) where they enjoyed a hot lunch prepared by their cooks, before descending to the Barranco Camp at 13000 ft. Tomorrow the team will continue traversing around the south side of Kilimanjaro to Karanga Camp, again at about 13000 ft. This is perfect acclimatization —climb high and sleep low!
