Kilimanjaro 2006 Results Page

by Chris Axel

 

Just dropping in to put up a few photos from Kilimanjaro. I will post more about the trip later. Nine of the ten climbers in our group summitted, and I got engaged to my girlfriend Jodi on top. It was an awesome experience. So the was the safari afterwards. For now, enjoy a few photos....
