Kilimanjaro

Charity climb.“Treading lightly on the earth”

Dates TBC

Some places stay with us.

Kilimanjaro is one of them.

A mountain, certainly.

But also a memory of distance, effort, friendship and another version of ourselves.

The roof of Africa, reached one slow step at a time. Pole, pole — the climb teaches that the summit belongs not to the fast, but to those who keep moving through the thin, cold air.

An account of the ascent: the rainforest below, the alpine desert, the glacier at dawn, and the strange clarity that arrives when the body has nothing left but the next breath.
