After breakfast, the Kilimanjaro team left camp and began the ascent of the Great Barranco wall! This scramble provided a great morning workout as they topped out at 14,500’ with spectacular views of the plains below! Then they descend to the Karanga river and hiked up a short distance to Karanga camp.
Here’s a short message from the team:
Today clear, breezy, and a pinch of big mountain chill setting out for the scramble up the legendary Barranco wall!
