Amazing Climb On Kili

I've mentioned a few times that my ultimate trip right now is to climb Kilimanjaro, preferably before the famous Snows of Kilimanjaro disappear. Today I found this article which offers details of a climb organized by Berg Adventures International that involved getting 19 mentally and physically challenged men and women to the summit of Kili. At 19,341, Kilimanjaro is the highest peak in Africa. While reaching the summit is by no means a technical climb, it is still very challenging, and will tax someone in good condition, especially at the higher altitudes. This is an impressive adventure for anyone to undertake, and it is very inspiring to see these disabled climbers reach the Roof of Africa.
