So here's Ten Reasons I'm Climbing Mt. Kenya:
- It's in Kenya -- that's where I've been going for three years now
- I'm tired of doing safaris -- I need some new African adventures
- It's not a technical climb -- and I'm not a technical climber
- It's not crowded -- they say there are traffic jams on Kilimanjaro
- It only takes 4 days to climb -- I've only got so much vacation time
- I don't have to train extensively for it -- those of you who know me well will get this one
- They say the view is amazing from the top -- and the bottom and the sides
- It's what I could talk my wife into letting me climb -- she reminds me that I'm from Indiana and I have experience climbing hills, not mountains
- It's a stepping stone to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro -- which is on my bucket list
- It's where the Kikuyu say God lives -- He's on my bucket list to meet, too
