The record of a middle aged US woman, only moderately fit, who will be climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in July 2010. The intent of the blog is both to share details of the climb, and to provide some inspiration to others who are contemplating a life challenge.

Why Kilimanjaro?
My husband, Dave, is an avid mountain climber. I am less so. In 2009 he climbed Aconcagua, the highest mountain in South America. I stayed in the US and felt left out. This time, as he considered the highest mountain in Africa, I decided to join him. It is not a terribly high mountain, as highest peaks go (19,300 feet) and is not a technical mountain (no ropes or crampons required). Plus, we have climbed together in the past, and I am unwilling to concede that my climbing days are over. Consider this venture part "marriage enrichment" and part "personal challenge".
