On Top of Barranco Wall (Phunuru Sherpa)
Max called in from Karanga Camp (13,000’). All is well with the team as they moved through one of the tough parts of the climb. The Barranco Wall! This wall requires a bit of rock scrambling and attention to where you put your feet but with all of the Chagga Guides that Max has, the team cruised.
They arrived at camp early and have plenty of time to rest before moving to High Camp tomorrow. It will be a short day tomorrow into Barafu High Camp (15,000’). A good dinner and early to bed, it is like Christmas! OH wait! It will be Christmas!
They are in position for a full moon Christmas on Kilimanjaro!
