Kilimanjaro #8 of many!

After hiking past the Lava Tower, we made it to Baranco camp... it was a long day of hiking!

Yours truly enjoying a little bit of Hank Lentfer's Faith of Cranes before tea time at 5pm

 A view of Kili... we get some definitions of a couple glaciers. Our approach to the summit was around the right side... but it's hidden from view at this angle.

 Two "White-necked Ravens." No joke, can you see their necks?!

 The next morning... folks starting early up the Baranco Wall.

 Steep going and slowly... Pole pole as they say in Swahili. It means slowly. The phrases I picked up for these types of situations are Pole pole kama kingonga which means, "slowly like a chameleon" and Imara kama simba which means, "strong like a lion." Both of those came in handy both as reminders to hike my own hike and to make conversation with the porters along the trail.

More climbing... almost to the top of this reach!
