A Mountain to Dream On

Heather Douglas, Kelly Hammond and friend,
Barranco Wall, Kilimanjaro

On top of Africa, slogging up Kilimanjaro, our friends on the Dream Mountain Climb to raise funds for Habitat to Humanity, are on Day 5.  They've struggled up the brutal Barranco Wall, an 800' extremely steep scramble made even more extreme by pouring rain. 

Although  they only climbed for four hours,reports were that  it felt a lot longer! It was the promise of a hot lunch that kept them climbing, arriving at Karanga Camp (4100m) around 2pm.

They are climbing slowly, to allow time to acclimatise to the altitude. It's going to be 8 days getting to the top... and this is Day Five.
