Hiking Mount Kilimanjaro by BLR Malibu Hiking Director, TJ Jerome

I bet it's safe to say that early last month we all set personal goals for ourselves to accomplish this year. Well, BLR Malibu Hiking Director, TJ Jerome, is no different. Perhaps equal parts goal, challenge and adventure, TJ wasted no time in accomplishing a goal for the year. Three weeks ago she took off on a personal adventure to hike to and summit Mount Kilimanjaro.

Kilimanjaro,with its three volcanic cones, Kibo, Mawenzi, and Shira, is a dormant volcanic mountain in Kilimanjaro National Park, Kilimanjaro Region, in Tanzania. It is the highest mountain in Tanzania, the highest mountain in Africa, and the highest free-standing mountain in the world at 5,895 metres or 19,341 feet above sea level (the Uhuru Peak/Kibo Peak). If you've had the pleasure of meeting TJ, then you know summiting such a mountain is right up her alley!
