This update comes from blind climber, Tanner Robinson:
Team Kili hiked from Shira Camp to Lava Tower (pictured above). Lava Tower is at approximately 14,800ft. The hike took about 5 hours, it was an easy trail but the team is starting to feel the effects of the higher altitude. Tanner said there was heavy cloud coverage throughout the hike, but the sun eventually peeked out from behind the clouds. When the team got closer to Lava Tower, it began to snow lightly. The team has begun to layer their clothes to keep warm and have been using and appreciating all of their gear. They are now at the foot of the glacier and are amazed by the size of the huge icicles hanging from the glacier. Overall, it was a good hike and Team Kili is now half way to the summit!!
