Andy Politz left us a voice mail at our office early this morning. Â Keep in mind that it’s 10 hours later on Kilimanjaro than out here at Mt. Rainier. Â News was that everyone’s in good form and spirit and that they were sitting on top of the Baranco Wall. Â In a couple more hours, they’ll be at their next camp-Karanga, at 13,500′. Â The view of Kili from the top of the Wall is pretty sweet. Â Most of the glacier terrain left on Kili is right above their heads, at that point. Â Well done, gang!
