Kilimanjaro

One of my hiking buddies, Bill Hearne just visited Mt. Kilimanjaro. I was introduced to Bill in Colorado when we hiked Mt. Elbert, the highest in the state, and 2nd highest in the continental US. He has climbed the Adirondack Forty-Sixers(numerous times I think) and is close to completing the 100 highest peaks in the North-east. Needless to say I have much admiration for this man. Now retired, he can spend more leisure time relaxing. By relaxing I mean hiking. He recently climed Kilimanjaro and apparently had a very good time. As an untechnical hike, it's farily easy(use your own discression), aside from the oxygen levels. Difficulty adjusting to the
altitude is a comon problem for most groups. The sunrise and fog shroud mountain are of Kilimanjaro. I would kill for breakfast with a view like this...
The last image is of ia glacier. Who knew such things existed in Africa...
