Barranco Camp and Breach Wall (Eric Simonson)
The Barranco Camp at 13,000 feet is one of the most spectacular places to pitch a tent on Kili, with the Breach Wall above and plenty of strange plants in the area. Max called to say that the team reached here today. They had a little rain along the way, but it cleared up by the evening. Tomorrow they will get an early start to get up the lower Barranco Wall before the clouds come in. There is a great viewpoint up there of the glaciers which descend from the south side of the mountain.
