The team spent last night at Karanga Camp (13000 feet) the third night in a row at that approximate elevation, as they have traversed around the south side of Kilimanjaro. Now they are ready to push higher! Today they climbed up to Barafu Camp (about 15000 ft) which left the afternoon for eating, hydrating, resting and getting packed up to for the summit climb. Their plan is to depart about midnight, which will hopefully put them on top shortly after dawn. So far so good, best wishes to everyone for their climb tonight!
