When Dustin checked in he and his team had already cruised up and over the Barranco Wall. He said the team did very […]
September 29, 2017 Dustin checked in from Barranco Camp on Kilimanjaro. They had another great day on the trail today. From Shira Camp to Barranco Camp is one of the longer days, but not necessarily the toughest. The trail is nice and gradual, not rocky or very steep. The views are amazing, with the south […]
