First camp

Made it to first camp. 3,300 meters or 10,800 feet. It was the most grueling and physical climb/activity I have ever made. My guide said its the toughest and the rest is a piece of cake. Getting set up in the my tent now and going to have dinner, then bed. It was too dark to take this picture last night. You can see the goal in the back ground. Still another 4 days away. A morning tea and breakfast and we start out again at 8:30 to Sira point. That will be around 13,000. Short day but important because we continue to acclimate to the altitude. The rainforest was incredible.

  1. I think I can see you - way ahead of everyone else. Slow down and let the others catch up! I hope you got to sleep in the big green tent, not one of those little orange kiddy tents. Keep up the great pace and don't eat too much Kudu.
