Barranco Camp (13,000’) with the Breech Wall in the background.
Adam Angel reports that the entire team had a good day of hiking today. From Shira Plateau they climbed to over 14,500’ below Lava Tower, then dropped down to Barancco Camp (about 13,000 feet) where they are now situated. Tomorrow they climb up the steep trail over Barancco Wall to Karanga Valley, a delightful section of hiking. So far so good!
