At Barafu Camp (4673m), our final stop before the Kilimanjaro summit! Tonight, we make the tough ascent. One team member had to descend due to altitude sickness, but they're recovering well. We're pushing on for them! Send us your support as we go for the top! #Kilimanjaro 🏔️🦁

Update! The team reached 4600m at Lava Tower and finished an 8-hour day at Baranco Camp (3900m). Everyone’s exhausted but pushing through! 💪 Some have faced altitude sickness, but we're digging deep. Huge thanks for your support 💙 2 days till the summit! 🏔️ #Kilimanjaro
