Climbing our Kilimanjaro

Have you climbed your Mt. Kilimanjaro yet? We know of one who claims that it isn't hard at all, that it's accessible and entirely doable. Of course, claims such as those come from people who have never actually attempted a challenge the likes of Kilimanjaro. The kind of person who claims other peoples accomplishments as his own. 

Our HOTT Crew, however, relishes jumping into unfamiliar tasks. Taking on new challenges. At times being a bit wary and unsure of the task ahead. And learning from the unexpected physical and mental challenges. We have two Kilimanjaro challenges we're tackling this weekend. One is ascending incredibly steep inclines in the mountains, steeper and harder than we've ever done. Another is participating in the Boston AIDS Walk, A 5km walk through Boston in support of services to those with HIV/AIDS.

Above we have a fine fellow we encountered on the Atlanta Airport subway who turned out to be participating in the same mountain climbing event that we were! It's so nice to take on challenges with such hot men!

And above one can see exactly how steep and high we climbed. We were EXHAUSTED!

And here's Nippy climbing the last few feet before reaching Neels Gap at an elevation of over 3,000 feet! And then Nippy, FTH and Undercover RM (GB and FT stayed behind in the Georgia mountains) raced back to the Atlanta Airport afterwards to get back to Boston for their next challenge.

So the next time someone tells you a physical challenge is easy inquire if they've actually taken on a physical challenge themselves. Our HOTT Crew knows that physical challenges come in many varieties,  and when you're ready to take on a Kilimanjaro please let us know. We'd love to cheer you on!
