- Barranco Camp with the Breach Wall and Icicle above (Eric_Simonson)
Phunuru Sherpa checked in to say the team had another good day, with only 10 minutes of rain this afternoon as a cloud passed by. On the way to Barranco Camp, the team ascended to Lava Tower (about 15,000 ft) before dropping down to the Camp at about 13,000 feet. Spectacular views abound, with the huge Breach Wall of Kilimanjaro dominating the scene. Right smack in the middle of the Wall is the Breach Icicle, climbed by famous climber Reinhold Messner in 1978. So far the team is doing well and having fun!
