Summit Looming....

"Jambo,"
We've been out of range for 36hrs while camping at Shira and Barranco. Weather has been great and one climber has shown signs of altitude sickness. We're now at Karanga Camp (13250ft)having scaled the mighty Barranco Wall (aka breakfast wall). Despite anxieties re: height and rock cliffs, everyone now claims today was their most exciting. Angus has managed a shave, we've adapted to outdoor toilet routine, with bowel movements being a source of daily comic relief. Spirits are high as the full moon rises tonight and as we prepare for tomorrow evenings 11pm assault.

"Kwaheri,"
