Kilimanjaro

I climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro with Alana, Doug, Andrew, and Erin who I know from Camp Lemonier. We summited at 0628 on July 16, 2007. This is the best group I've ever travelled with, and one of my best trips ever. Thanks guys! Also, thanks to Zara for running such a smooth and seamless operation, and to our guide Jeff for guiding us up the volcano.
