Kilimanjaro: Hahn & Team Positioned at High Camp for Summit Bid
Another great day on Kilimanjaro. Yesterday's clouds went away in the night and we were treated to a sparkling and clear, sunny morning. Looking up more than a vertical mile from Karanga Camp, we could see all of Kibo's glaciated southeastern flank. As we've gotten used to, there was a sea of cloud below us -only permitting a brief glimpse now and again as to what might be down there. But we are more focused on what lies above these days. We started climbing at 9:30 AM and in just over two hours we'd gained 2,000 vertical feet and we strolled into Barafu Camp at about 15,000 feet. It was an easy afternoon then of eating, planning and napping. We are in bed early (6PM) because we plan to be up and climbing in the middle of the night. A little luck on the weather doesn't seem to be too much to hope for now... It is calm and the afternoon clouds are fleeing fast. We could have a wonderful climb.
Best Regards,
RMI Guide Dave Hahn
