The whole team at Shira Camp (Ang Jangbu)
On the way to Shira Camp (Ang Jangbu)
Ang Jangbu reports that the weather was great today for the team to continue climbing to the Shira Camp, located on the edge of the Shira Plateau. After leaving the forest at Machame Camp they ascended through a “forest” of giant heather bushes, and along the way got their first views of the Lobelia and Giant Groundsel plants that only live at altitude near the equator. Now they are at about 12,500 feet, a perfect elevation for acclimatizing. Tomorrow the plan is to go to Barranco Camp. Well done team!
