Feel-good story: 85-year old PV woman climbs Kilimanjaro

Post by chumley »

Kudos to Anne Lorimor of Paradise Valley. :app:

Impressive!
That rallying cry powered Anne ­Lorimor of Paradise Valley through an eight-day climb up Tanzania’s Mount ­Kilimanjaro, a feat that makes her the oldest woman to reach the summit of ­Africa’s tallest mountain.
She's considering doing it again in two years, when she would be the oldest person to summit, not just the oldest woman.

I'm not sure what my spirit animal is, but I'm confident it has rabies.
