- The trail is up (Phunuru Sherpa)
- Team at Lava Tower (Phunuru Sherpa)
Another fun phone call from Phunuru and our Kilimanjaro team Friday morning.
They said the weather was even better for their hike to Baranco today. Not sure how that’s even possible.
Right now they’re starring up at the Baranco Wall. Looks intimidating but the reality is that it’s just plain fun. A little exposure, here and there, and a little scrambling, here and there. Nothing that’s too difficult or too scary. After the wall, they’ll keep traversing in front of the mountain as they make their way to the Karanga Valley. Camp will be about 1000′ higher than where they’re camped now.
Here’s hoping Phunuru keeps the good news coming!
