Team at the top of the Barranco Wall (Max Bond)<\/p><\/div>\n

The last two days have provided our Kili team the chance to accomplish more great hiking and more valuable acclimatization.\u00a0 IMG guide Max Bond and Chagga guide Kassim and his crew have been doing a great job getting everyone in position at the high camp.\u00a0 Yesterday the team departed the Barranco Camp (13000 ft) and ascended the famous Barranco Wall, a very steep trail requiring \u201cusing your hands\u201d in a couple places.\u00a0 The top of the wall is an amazing viewpoint, tucked right underneath the Southern Glaciers (or what\u2019s left of them, as they are melting fast).<\/p>\n

From there the team continued their up and down traverse to the east, to the Karanga Camp (also about 13000 ft.).<\/p>\n

This morning the team departed Karanga Camp (the last water source) and with their porters and guides, ascended to the Barafu Camp, arriving in time for lunch.\u00a0 Then, the team had all afternoon to rest, hydrate, and get packed, before an early dinner and early bedtime.<\/p>\n
