Barranco Camp
A longer, but good day is in the books. The terrain heading up from Shira Camp is gradual but just keeps coming at you. They head pretty much straight towards the mountain from camp and then bang a hard right at a place called the Lava Tower. From there, it’s pretty much all down to Baranco Camp. Views will keep getting better. A bit of ‘soup’ now but that was nice for walking. No real ‘precip’ and it kept the dust down. Winds have been quite low. They’ll have a knock your socks off view when the soup does lift.
