‘It’s a lovely clear morning. We couldn’t climb this ‘hill’ without the Tanzanians- they served us bed tea at 6.30am. What a great start’.
Today’s climb involves ascending the great Baranco wall (which isn’t as bad as it looks). Thereafter the trail descends to Karanga valley and over gently sloped hills up to 4100m for a hot lunch. Dinner and overnight at the spectacular Karanga camp.
Message from Erica to her daughters Davis and Jordyn ‘I love you both very much and can’t wait to see you on Saturday’.

Love,
Kerenza Megan, Anna.
Salo, Stevie, Hugo, Michelle – Well done guys!!! Is soo flippen jaloers! Dink die heeltyd aan julle! Hou bene hou!.
So paar woorde vir elk een van julle:
Stevie: “As far as I’m concerned, if someone eliminates the mental part of climbing, then we might as well all go play miniature golf” – ek weet jy gee die wysheid en koel kop! ne? hehe
Michelle: “The best climber in the world is the one who’s having the most fun” … ek weet somme dis jy!
Hugo: “While climbing with a guy who had a really old and worn-looking rope, I asked him how often he changed it… ‘Every time it breaks’ he said…” bly weg van DAAI ou af!! Hehe…
Salo: “The best training was to go to the pub, drink 5 quarts of beer, and talk about climbing” Need I say more? Hehehe….
To all…”Realize that if you want joy in your soul, you will have to choose to bring it there.” -Joseph J. Mazzella- … guess what…you are there!!
