Top of Kilimanjaro

Gordon, with Brett and Ali

"I did it!", says sometime Xena crewmate (San Fernando 2011), Gordon Ketelby (aka "Gordie").

He goes on...

Here is the proof – me on the top of Mt Kilimanjaro with Brett and Ali

Its very high 5,890m or for those from the old school 19,430ft

Its very hard to breathe up there particularly when you have to climb 1,000m on the last day up a 45 degree slope. Its seriously cold at night -10 C or less.

It was seriously hard particularly the last bit of the assent, and going down hammers your legs.

Due to global warming there is not always snow on top, and most of the glaciers are receding fast!
