I was not planning to do it. Attempting to climb Africa's tallest peak seemed like a wild idea, especially since I’d never climbed anything remotely like it before. But adventure has always called to me.
I slept on the idea after it was first proposed, and realised that if I let this opportunity slip, I would regret it. So, I made up my mind to take on Kilimanjaro.
