Wow! One of my favorite days. So pretty. I started diamox and feel a little bit better.i drink a minimum of 4 liters of water a day, and am not having the bad side effects from the diuretic that I had at home. Maybe I wasn't drinking enough agua at home? Woke up at normal wake up time, but everyone was so spent from Lava Tower that we got off to a late start. This camp is beautiful, and we awoke to sunny skies for the first time! It is amazing how sunny skies can boost your morale. We ate breakfast and filled up our water - and did all of the morning rituals we had become so accustomed to doing. Looking up at the wall was amazing. It was a vertical wall, and the most dangerous day of our trek less summit day. I loved it. It was so fun to climb over the rocks and work our way up the wall. One of our team members had an anxiety attack, and the porters were awesome. It proved to be about a 6 hour climb and we only went up to 14,700, but we covered a lot of ground and moved NW, closer and closer to our goal of Uhuru peak!
