Kilimanjaro Five Men On A Mission (Continued From Page 1) in the world and has three volcanic cones, Mawenzi, Shira and Kibo. Mawenzi and Shira are extinct but Kibo, the highest peak, is dormant but could erupt again. As we recently gathered together to recount the event, their story of commitment and heroism emerged. They left Shelby on Sept. 7th to board KLM flight at 5:40 p.m. in Atlanta, then arrived in Amsterdam after 8 hour flight, then took a 9 hour flight to Kilimanjaro Airport. On Sept. 8th and 9th, they had meetings and prepared for the first part of their climb. Sept. 10th they signed the registry and the climb began. It started with a 6 miles hike to first camp, then 8 miles to the second. Walking on rough terrain, mostly sand and rock, each hiker had two walking poles to stabilize themselves. On Wed, Sept. 12th they hiked 6 miles and Thurs. 5 miles before a rest and starting the hardest climb at 11pm that night. The temperature went from nearly 85º down to 50º. It dropped quickly to 30º at 15,500 feet. Their tents were covered with ice and they clothed in layers, three on bottom and four on top. Each wore two pair of gloves. Suffering blisters on their feet, light headiness from the altitude, some with diarrhea and affected blood sugar issues, they traveled on. They wore lights on their headgear due to the darkness. The team learned about SCREE, which is a term used to describe a mixture of sand, very fine dirt and gravel. It is not solid ground hiking and one must zig zag their steps to move. As one climber said: "You take one step forward and slide two steps back." Consequently, progress is extremely slow. Each encouraged their fellow climbers. It's so physically challenging you think it will never end, but you must keep pushing yourself. Finally, you all make it. Exhausted! Tired! Freezing! Unbelievable! It's almost 12 miles up and back. Upon their return with joints and feet aching , a hot shower and some real food was rewarding. "In your mind you are joyful and thankful". The efforts prove fruitful because the pain and hurt was all worth it. These over-achievers raised more than their $100,000 to fight polio. For as little as 60 cents, a child can be vaccinated against this crippling disease. Upon their return to Shelby, they are definitely different men. They may not want to do it again, but their achieve- ment was gratifying and filled with memories to cling to for life. The children of the world thank you!
