Kili – Day 3 – Barranco camp

Today’s hike was one of the more challenging ones as it began by climbing out of the forest and onto rockier terrain with sparser undergrowth and scraggly, moss covered trees. Their trek continued along a narrow ridge and then flattened out as they approached the Barranco Valley and descended to the Barranco camp (3950m).  It would have taken them 6-7 hours.

Message received from Sean: We’re all at Barranco camp and there’s only one other small crew here. We have Kili to ourselves.  It’s beautiful, peaceful and so tranquil.  The streams are flowing strong and there’s lots of snow on the summit dome.  Great pics taken today.
