- Barranco Camp with the Breach Wall and Icicle above (Eric Simonson)
Max Bond reports the team had another nice day of trekking, and everyone is doing well. They started at 12,500 ft at Shira Camp, ascended to about 15,000 ft at Lava Tower for lunch, then descended to Barranco Camp at 13,000 ft. This is a perfect acclimatization profile: “climb high, sleep low”! From Barranco Camp the team has great views of the steep south side of Kili, including the Breach Wall and Icicle.
