I was tempted to title this blog post “fat, dumb and happy†but I’ll refrain. Regardless of what I was thinking, the team is well and now at the Shira Camp around 12,500’. A bit misty early but perfect sunshine for most of the day. Warm, too. The day to Shira is fairly short so the crew will have plenty of time to soak up the rays. They’ll have to work a bit hard tomorrow as they head up past the Lava Tower and drop into Baranco Camp. No worries – they’ll be well-rested after today.
