Sunrise High on Kilimanjaro
Spoke with Andy Politz early this morning, Pacific time. Everyone’s at high camp, Barafu, and ready to make a summit attempt in the early morning. Nice thing about our seven day itinerary, http://www.mountainguides.com/kilimanjaro-itin.shtml, is that the day moving to high camp is short, which allows us to arrive early in the afternoon and not overly tired. It is, of course, at over 15,000 ft. which isn’t easy on anyone.
Lots of hydrating, eating, resting and packing are on the agenda now with a very early bedtime. Wake up will be at midnight. Weather’s good so wish everyone luck.
