Beautiful sunny morning at Moira camp 13,400 ft elevation. Felt the elevation last night. My blood oxygen level has dropped from 96% at Moshi to 92% at Shira to 88% here. Feeling better this morning. We are climbing to Lava Rock at 15,000 ft elevation by lunch. The mountain keeps enticing but is still far away. It is a dry and dusty here, typical of a high desert.
