Mount Kilimanjaro

Like we went to the Ngorongoro Crater and that was beautiful because the animals were out.

Kilimanjaro.

Yeah, Kilimanjaro.

It was beautiful.

They were taken with it, you know.

But But it makes me a better dentist by getting out and doing these other things and not be so zoomed in.

I remember when I took the boys to climb Kilimanjaro and the Serengeti.

And, you know, it starts in Tanzania and it wraps around the Serengeti into Kenya.

And my boys asking them, like, is everything...

And there's going to be times where you have time to do that.

There's going to be times when you don't have time to do that.

When Steph and I, we climb Machu Picchu and we climb Kilimanjaro.

And so many people would say, oh, that's on my bucket list.

Nice, cool outdoor shower, which was great to cool off at the end of the day.

And I did have a bit of PTSD around the camp army toilets after the Kilimanjaro experience, but I'm happy to say all went well and these were much better.

Yeah, those toilets, they're fine, but it's a dry toilet, isn't it? It's a dry

toilet, yeah.

But I think you're, you're absolutely right.

The expectation that this person is going to, you know, climb Kilimanjaro for us in two days is, uh, I just think that's not true unless you're hiring Tom Brady and he already has a track record of doing

that.

None of us are going to pay for Tom Brady.

We're never fully present when we are, where we are, whether it's at the dinner table or whatever.

hiking Mount Kilimanjaro, I don't care, whatever it is.

It's just, it's very hard to be present these days, Dustin.

And I think it's because we have so much information overload would be an understatement.

Maybe then go and get the gym because that would have been premature.

Like you climb Kilimanjaro.

That's one of the seven summits, correct? Yeah.

You

know, you don't go from Camelback Mountain because you used to live here in Arizona.

You don't go from Camelback Mountain straight to Kilimanjaro or doing rim to rim.

You know, it's just you've got to prepare for that.

I'm sure there are stories of people who have done it, but that's few and far between.

One more detail.

This government coverage doesn't replace comprehensive travel insurance, especially for adventures like climbing Kilimanjaro.

So Guru, before you photograph the wildlife, Tanzania would like a close-up of your wallet.

that's what you say in jersey i got your wallet right here look i'm not as i'm not a uh what uh what do you call those things when you go out looking at wild animals not a uh what do you call i can't i'm i'm absolutely drawing a blank people are laughing right now i really can't uh safari i can't even say that word it makes no sense to me animal kingdom is right up the road get a hot dog and a beer there's the giraffe can we go home now But I know people that go and they ride around an open-air Jeep and they look at a lion.

We tackled the climb up the ridgeline, feeling the burn in our calves.

It was not too bad, though, particularly because I had climbed Kilimanjaro just a couple of weeks before.

So once we got high enough along the ridge, we looked straight down into Dead Valley.

Instead of hiking all the way to the summit of Big Daddy, we took the fast, fun way down, running straight down the what felt like vertical slip face.

And she has...

So we documented her climbing hand over hand Mount Kilimanjaro, the largest freestanding mountain in the world.

So three of us and Mandy up the mountain with 20 or maybe even 30 at times Sherpas.

But she did it all.
