High Camp at Barafu
It’s just about ‘game day’ for our team on Kilimanjaro. Dustin called in to let us know that they had another very good day getting in to high camp. Doing climbs in 7 days makes the day hiking to high camp shorter and less strenuous. And, it gets the team to camp early in the day, allowing for time to rest, hydrate, eat and prep. They’ve done all those thing now and are trying to catch a couple of hours sleep before getting up around midnight and heading uphill. We’ll get word up on the blog as soon as we hear from the team.  Weather’s good and folks are healthy and strong and all are ready to head towards the summit soon.
