The morning we summited happened to be International Women ’ s Day . The first summit is Gilman
Point , a crater at 18,652 ft . That is a legit summit and half of our team stopped there . Miraculously I only had a minor headache . It felt good , I felt energized . The adrenaline kicked in and I practically ran to Uhuru , the final summit at 19,341 feet . That ’ s 10,000 feet shy of Everest . I literally went from my couch to
Kilimanjaro .
