Summary of Presentation:
In 2013, Erasmus completed a lifelong item on his bucket list, climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro via the Machame Route. Starting in the original montane forest, the landscape gradually changes to volcanic rocks and boulders. As the trail winds around the mountain, he slowly acclimates to the altitude, while always seeing the summit in the distance. Hear and see about the climb and the push to the summit on the last ascent day that sets his feet on top of the highest mountain in Africa.
