Uhuro Peak, Tanzania, 19,341 Ft.
We did it! Curt, Karl and I summitted Mt. Kilimanjaro and stood at 19,341ft around 10:30am local time on July 10. We awoke at 11pm on July 9th packed our packs grabbed some snacks and set out for the summit around midnight. The grueling 3.1 mile trek to Uhuru Peak was the most mentally, physically and emotionally challenging thing I have ever done. To say I am in awe of the boys is an understatement. Their drive, tenacity and dedication to fulfill what we set out to do was inspiring. When I struggled to take a step and wanted to quit, I recited the names of the women I climbed for - Andrea, Barbara, Beth, Caitlyn Ginger, Ginny Tokarski Ginny, Josie, Kathy, Mary, Trish, Mom and me. The angels mom made for me in honor of the above mentioned women, they carried me.
