I reached the summit at 2:30 pm on August 15, 2008 with my mother and 4 friends.
Two other members of our group summited the next morning.

Mom, I love you and thank you for everything.
You never cease to amaze and inspire me.

Thanks to everyone in our group for making such a diverse, positive, and interesting team.

We couldn't have done it without the expertise and sound leadership of our Tusker Trail guides and the strength of our hard-working porters.
