The Trek - Day 4

Chris writes:

Started at 5.30 this morning, reached top of baranco wall at 9.30. You can now add nose bleeds to the list of altitude symptoms. Having a ball! Wish everyone was here (instead of me!). This seemed like such a good idea a year ago. Everyone nervous today as we start summit climb tonight at midnight!

Have reached Karanga Hut for lunch today having conquered the Baranco Wall at first light, not for the faint hearted or those scared of heights. Couple of the guys struggling with fatigue following another difficult night, the altitude has affected us all & at different times. The weather has been very wet and the landscape barren so we have past the time playing games to keep each other going. Heading for karanga and high camp for a sleep ahead of summit tonight.
