Kilimanjaro: Tucker & Team Arrive at High Camp
We have just pulled into high camp, Barafu Camp, located at 15,000' on Kilimanjaro. Our tent sites are on the low side of camp so I'm calling the elevation 14,900'. We have been moving as one cohesive unit which will make the climb tonight go really smooth.
There are a few clouds around making for good pictures and still allowing great views of the upper mountain.
We are up here with plenty of time to rest, fuel up and prepare for the summit push ahead tonight. Repacking our gear and making high calorie lunches in between naps is in store for us. The team is in great shape and we are all fired up and ready for our summit attempt.
