I needed \" an off-the-wall dalliance An all-boys' adventure in a faraway land. An adventure far away from telephones and faxes and lawyers. An adventure with an abundance of humor, serious physical exertion, and danger nominally short of life-threatening.\" After a little research and a few phone calls, I decided that a climb to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, in Tanzania, with four friends, via the \"Tourist Route\", would fit the bill.In this book, the author tell the story of the climb-four days up, and two days down-with a humorous yet sensitive slant, describing the perils of altitude, the vicissitudes of Mother Nature, the enjoyment of multi-generational and multi-ethnic collaboration, the travails of disappointment, and the exhilaration of success. And where it suits his fancy-and does no harm to accuracy-he embellishes an observation or encounter to illuminate the pure joy of the experience. After all, it was about good fun, and the telling of it should be too.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51955604422944,"sku":"NEW059541625X","price":11.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/kilimanjaro-via-the-marangu-route-tourist-route-my-ass-059541625x","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
