I'm back in Moshi, Tanzania after successfully summitting Mt. Kilimanjaro at 5:30am on September 11. Let's call the ascent a mutual ass kicking, since Kili kicked my ass just as much as I did its during the climb.
I got food poisoining the night before my ascent and threw up 4 times (once during the actual ascent around 11:30pm on September 10), but managed to muster up the strength and make it to the top. Being up there during sunrise was the most amazing thing that I have ever seen. Gosh...I can't even begin to describe it right now. I have my column about the climb (about 2100 words unedited) to type up from my molskine and and about 400 pictures and some video to post. So hopefully you can relive some of what I experienced up there!
