Kilimanjaro Team getting ready to climb!

July 23, 2022

IMG guide Phunuru Sherpa reports that the weather has been excellent the last few days and that the trek has been going very smoothly, with everyone doing well. This is a critical part of the Kili climb, with 3 successive nights at about 13,000 feet (Shira Camp, Barancco Camp, and Karanga Camp).  It’s perfect acclimatization and also wonderful hiking as the team traverses around the southern side of the mountain.  Tomorrow the team will climb up to the Barafu Camp (about 15,000 feet) and from there they will go to the summit.  So far so good on Kilimanjaro!
