- Kilimanjaro from Karanga Camp (Eric Simonson)
Ang Jangbu reports that the team had a nice day, with good weather and everyone doing well. This is one of our favorite days of the trip, first climbing the steep trail up the Barranco Wall, and then traversing for several hours below the Southern Glaciers (or what is left of them) until reaching the Karanga Valley, and the camp just beyond it. The small creek in the valley is the last water source on the ascent, so the porters will carry water tomorrow from Karanga up to the Barafu Camp.
