Summit!

Dr. Botha has reached the summit of Mt. Kenya!! It was a LOT more difficult than predicted, but successful none-the-less. He said the climb was very technical and they reached the actual summit - not the false summit most aspire to. The Batian summit is only 11 metres or so from the the Nelion summit - but translates into FOUR hours of grueling extra work. Most people just go to Nelion and call it a day. We are just happy he's okay and that he reached his goal!!! He sends lots of thanks for all the well-wishes and prayers. He really, really appreciates your support!

Two Hours or So!

Dr. Botha is doing very well and is at Nelian at the moment. It about two hours until he reaches the real summit of Mt. Kenya. He is feeling good and excited to be this close to the finish!

Doing well in Kenya!

Dr. Botha is enjoying his climb in Kenya and is finding all the animals incredible. He is going to high camp today and hopes to summit on Thursday. He's feeling great, but it's very cold at night. He sends his hellos and love to all his friends and family!
