I am so impressed by these people who attempt to climb mountains - and those who make it to the top. What a great achievement. He seems to have reached his goal without any of the serious problems we read about - probably due partly to his long training. Thanks for sharing his trip.Ciao Chow Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04479595368522070565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-87932341822026825932010-07-26T19:09:30.136-04:002010-07-26T19:09:30.136-04:00The Kilimanjaro climb takes four to five days as i...The Kilimanjaro climb takes four to five days as it takes that long to adjust to the high altitude. If the climbers go up faster they can develop serious high altitude sickness<br /><br /><br />The cost depends upon the contract guides that a person hires to accompany them. They are required by the Tanzania National Parks but their fees vary and some offer better success rates than others according to their level of expertise. I'm sure if you Google it you can see estimates ;-) <br /><br /><br />It is a once in a life time achievement, so I think it is priceless!Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoritihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08922525910685129822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-21851571717900535532010-07-26T14:43:13.364-04:002010-07-26T14:43:13.364-04:00Absolutely amazing.

Our neighbor has climbed 5 of the 7 highest peaks, including Mt. Everest. I think those folks are great role models for us all. We each can "climb our own mountains" everyday. These photos are lovely and I really enjoyed them, the facts about the glacier are so disturbing to me and what is really sad is that some people still don't believe in global warming!!mrs. chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02173149105728391833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-67884069931191170212010-07-22T17:51:01.539-04:002010-07-22T17:51:01.539-04:00A great informative post as always.

Our children are avid readers and love an author by the name Gordon Korman. He writes adventure stories that include children. One was about treacherous mountain climb. Its called Everest. My husband and I enjoyed the book series too. I highly recommend it for anyone. Perhaps your nephew would get a kick out of it.<br />From A Canadian who only climbs moutains of laundry : )<br />DanaDana @ Bungalow'56https://www.blogger.com/profile/14925373078487563897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-18063406720190849412010-07-22T10:27:13.976-04:002010-07-22T10:27:13.976-04:00What an adventure!
