Ang Jangbu reports that team had a good hike today, ascending to 15000 feet at Lava Tower (where they took their lunch break) and then descending down to 13000 at Barranco Camp. This is the perfect acclimatization profile: “climb high, sleep low”. The day started clear as a bell, but on the descent from Lava Tower to Barranco the clouds rolled in and delivered an afternoon rain shower. Then, by the time they went to bed it was clear as a bell! Everyone is doing well, and they are looking forward to heading to Karanga Camp in the morning.
