Another pretty much perfect day on Kilimanjaro. With a health and strong team, Dustin was able not only to go up to the Lava Tower with everyone but to go UP the Lava Tower with everyone. The continued flawless weather made for unobstructed views of Mt. Meru and Mawenzi. It was a quick descent from there to camp at Baranco – 13,000ft. The Baranco Wall, which they ascend in the morning, is one of the most fun sections of the route.  Lots of easy scrambling on great rock. Totally fun.
Bottom line – all’s well in Africa.
