Day 5, Friday Oct 9 Baranco to Karanga Camp
To avoid the traffic jam on the famous Baranco Wall, we set off earlier in the morning in order to scale the intimidating ~1k foot wall that has similarities to the Game of Thrones’ massive wall (aside from winter demons and zombies and John Snow). But this ledge of land seemed unnavigable from below and with parts of the miraculous trail that was blazed only having narrow switchbacks and at times where you needed to be very intimate with the rock to avoid the significant drops below (see Kissing Wall), it seemed like we were part of some twisted video game. Fear of heights? Not acceptable on Baranco. But through tears, fears, and lots of ‘holy shit”s and “omg”s, we all successfully overcame the mental challenges, got to second base with a wall, and made it to Karanga Camp after about 3 miles of “hiking" safely behind us. In retrospect, I'm very glad I wasn't able to see the size of that wall before sleeping beside it the night before. Word(s) of the day: Blind Trust

This Sunday at 8AM we’re running to raise money in honor of one of our most special runners, @samispelke , whose brother passed away from cancer. The only thing that helped keep his spirits high during the long transplant journey was a place called The Ulman House. It is a non-profit organization that provides free housing and community support for young adults going through cancer. It was a life savor financially and mentally for her brother. If you’re able, please donate through the link in our bio, or come join our community on Sunday to show your support. We’d all appreciate it 💜 @ulmanfoundation

Sometimes experiences are even better than you expected they’d be. Kilimanjaro with @ulmanfoundation was one of those.

Day 2, Tuesday Oct 6: Machame Camp to Shira Gate
Waking up to a bright, sunny morning with coffee/tea in the tent and a quick pack and back on the trail. We headed toward Shira Camp, a 3.5 mile, 3k feet elevation gain with steep rock face climbs and the first highland and moorlands views downward. Bumping into new friends on the trail, getting bits of cell service, and rocking some trail tunes. Now entering a bit cooler air, sleeping at 12,500 feet but the starscapes? Wow. Word of the day: Progress

Day 1, Monday Oct 5
Excited, nervous, and ready to get this 8-day journey started with 13 teammates who will soon become family. Because of the fires in the lower parts of the mountain, we did not go through the Lemosho route and opted for Machame - the more difficult trail. And day 1 didn't disappoint. 7.5 miles, 4k feet elevation gain hike for over 6 hours in the jungle all the way to the dark of the evening as we pulled into Machame Camp. Word of the day: Humbling.
