This is where it pays to be traveling with a guide who has done this a time or two.  We are going to push extra hard today and go further then most of the other climbing teams.  You’ll see why….better chance to summit tomorrow!!!

Today involves gaining more elevation, acclimatizing and resting for the summit attempt the next morning.  We will camp at an isolated spot above all of the masses at  Barafu.  This will put us an  hour closer to the summit!!! This day will take us 4-6 hours of climbing.

Hike time 3.5 hrs  Elevation change +600m (1,968 ft)  Estimated distance 4km (2.5 miles)  Camp Elevation 4600m (15,091 ft)

This is what our camp looks like, note this is not my photo.  Sleeping above the clouds!

Almost there!!!!!!
