Today we climbed to Mawenzi Tarn, a camp nestled below the beautiful craggy peaks of Mawenzi. There is a small stagnant pond used as the water source for this camp. The hike to Mawenzi Tarn took us about 3 hours. After lunch we did an acclimatization hike up the slopes of Mawenzi that took us about 1.5 hours. We are now at 14,000 feet and still feeling pretty good. I think those training hikes we did in Colorado have really paid off. Some people that didn't take the diamox are starting to feel the altitude, but overall, everyone is doing well. It is cold in the mist.Kikelewa Elevation: 12,070 ft
