Arrow Glacier Camp is a remote, high campsite at the foot of the Western Breach, above the Lava Tower.

It is used only on the Western Breach variant of our Umbwe itinerary. The silence is striking, and good rest and plenty of fluids are essential before the climb into the crater the next morning.

• Type: Mountain camp
• Altitude: 4,800 m
