Mt. Meru
Day 4 on Kilimanjaro is now complete. Team’s at Karanga Camp (13,500 ft). Mike Haft reported a beautiful sunset and that the team is about ready to hit the sack. By taking 7 days for the climb, the team’s able to have a short day into high camp tomorrow and it allows them to get into camp very early in the afternoon. They’ll need that time to eat, drink, get packed and rest – all in anticipation of an early wakeup call and breakfast before beginning their summit attempt. We need everyone to continue to take care of themselves, stay healthy and start getting seriously excited. Summit day is just around the corner, so to speak.
