As you know we started out with 30 climbers but ended up with 24 that made the journey. Of that 24, 21 made it to the top of the mountain. Our climbing group was supported with about 60 Tanzanian men that took care of us by guiding us, cooking for us, carrying and setting up our tents daily, carrying the majority of our gear, singing for us in Swahili when we became discouraged, pumping our gallons and gallons of drinking water through a purifier and walking with us every step of the way. I still get emotional when I think about those incredible eight days. Eight days that tested everything in my physical being.
