While reading your blog entries from earlier in the year, I was impressed to see how well you have incorporated the Asian philosophy in the Dan Milman book you and I talked about reading while we were sitting trackside at the Stoke Games in 1995. The stories of your experiences reminded me a lot of Zen and the Art of Archery as well. I was glad to read tribute to Sir Guttman the pioneers who have helped make our lives infinitely more interesting and fulfilling. Jim Martinson has been one of my heroes too. I was just in Tanzania as well, also on the Rongai Route up Kili. I went there with my son, a friend from our trek into Everest Base camp in 1998, and another friend from Idaho State University. Having read your blog entries before I left, like Kurt Bestor, I too was experiencing sections of the trail I assumed you would be using and was left wondering how you would get over this section or how this obstacle would be possible. I also found out that the route was much more difficult than I had anticipated. I’m glad you took the time and have the resources to have done a scouting run. I really hope your trip next year is much more successful as a result. You are a great person and this endeavor is very worthwhile. I hope you pull it off and get yourself up to “Freedom” peak. Best of luck!! Tom McCurdy Chris:

We met you at the Sopa Lodge in Tarangire. We were lucky to bring John to Arusha to pick up his plane. On the long way he explained us about the expedition and your story. We were very impressed . He offered me the orange brazalet that I m wearing since then. I just wanted to write you to wish you the very best and tell you how impressed i m with your story .... Big smile from Barcelona. I will be waiting for you to achive your goal and see the documentary. Jambo!

My wife and I climbed Kili on the Shira route a couple of years ago and wondered "How will Chris make it up THIS section." From your description, you truly succeeded in ways I didn't think possible. Looking forward to following next year's climb. Let me know if I can help in any way. Jambo! Kurt Bestor http://kbestor.blogspot.com/2006/09/kilimanjaro-climb-it-with-me.html Chris -
