Its official. I climbed Mount Kilimanjaro on Oct 9th 2014. It was a great birthday. The climb to 19,341 feet was not easy. It was extremely cold and windy on summit morning. We started at midnight and reached the top at 6:10 am. The altitude, wind and cold made it almost impossible for me to reach my goal. At 18,000 ft my body gave out. The altitude, cold & wind had its way with me. My head was pounding and my chest started to tighten...my body was a limp noodle. Thank you to one of my guides Bosta, my porter Peta who held each arm and another porter who put his hands on the lower part of my back and pushed me up the Mtn. By him pushing on my back helped to keep my legs moving. Without their help and strength and encouragement telling me you a strong mama you can Do it I mightve given up. After this picture was taken (Im in black), Bosta, my guide dragged me down the mtn fast....back to an altitude where I started to feel better. He was worried for my safety. I am doing great now. Hakuna Manta!!!
