John Colver just called in from Baranco Camp at 13,000 ft. Another day bites the dust. Good weather for hiking with a little mist coming into camp. But, the clouds have lowered now and skies are clear. The team is just heading into the dining tent for another good dinner. All continues to go well.
Tomorrow, the route heads up the Baranco Wall. That portion will take about 2 hours and then it’s a relatively easy walk, with a few ups and downs, to Karanga Camp at around 13,300 ft.
