So it is official. I am going to be climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania this October.
Kilimanjaro is the tallest mountain (well technically it is a volcano) in Africa.
Crazy enough to join me are two fellow RDs, Paul Sheriff and Richard Campbell. At 19,340 feet, this will edge out my time on Everest as the highest altitude I have been to. We are going to take the Western Breach route, sleep the last night at 18,000 feet and summit on the “real” side. When we come down, we will do a 5 day safari so expect lots of photos.
