Day 4: Barranco camp (3950m)- Barafu camp (4550m). Hiking time: 7h
Woke up with the clouds beneath our feet..
Our campsite, backed by snowy rocks.
Climbing the steep Barranco wall (also known as the "Breakfast wall")
We had to climb on all fours.
Real rock climbing. Without ropes/harnesses.
A long drop to the bottom. (Those tiny colourful dots in the background are our porters..)
The porters overtaking us yet again..
Group shot!
All grey and brown, where even plant-life starts giving up.
The barren landscape.
Taking a rest above the clouds.
Finally reaching the last camp before the final summit attempt.
Welcome to Barafu. Where the wind and the cold threaten to tear you apart.
Our yellow tent. With the mountain's most awesome toilets in the background.
