We started our day with "breakfast," which is what the wagumu (literally, 'strong men'--porters) like to call the Barranco Wall. Many trekkers make a huge deal about how hard/steep/scary the Barranco Wall is, but it's really just a steep trail with a few sections of easy (class 3-) rock scrambling with very low consequences (the porters mostly climb up it with one hand on their loads). E climbed up like a mountain goat and we were on our way across to the Karanga Valley.
The mountain was in clouds, so we missed the scenery of the southern glaciers, but it was a pretty day nonetheless.
Karanga Camp is a bit desolate, as the camp is located above the valley itself; however, the mountain was out for dinner and it was a beautiful sight.
