It’s always nice to start out the morning with a sat phone call from Kilimanjaro. Eben Reckord reported in this morning that they had a sweet day going up to and around the Lava Tower at about 14,500 ft. before heading down to camp at Baranco (13,000 ft). They’re moving so well that the plan is to sleep late and then head up to Karanga tomorrow. Nothing exciting to report is always good when on a big trip. It simply means that all is going well. We expect exactly the same news tomorrow.
