We will be hosting another climb near Atlanta, Georgia, on Mother’s Day weekend! We can tell you that the climb will be at a park in north Georgia, but can’t share the exact location until we have a contract. Please plan on climbing with your mom, kids, and the rest of your family on May 12, 2012 to continue to raise awareness about global injustices to women and children. As we get more details, we will post them to the website and the blog. So, keep checking back!
A special thank you to Cheryl Weber, who sent these:
The climbers taking a much needed rest!
The climbers make their way through the fog.
Leaving the campsite, this shows how steep the climb was at some points!
Triumphant climber posing!
One of the teams making their way up a steep bit of the climb.
Imagine doing the climb with this heavy basket or a tent on your head?
The fog adds to the daunting task ahead.
Gorgeous snow capped peaks are the backdrop of this stunning climb view.
A gorgeous team shot with “The BEAST” as some of the climbers affectionately called it, behind them.
The Freedom Climb banner made it to the top of Kilimanjaro!
Elmarie from South Africa, poses with the new sign that stands at the highest point, Uhuru peak!

Here are some photos of the women on the climb! We are very excited to see some of the actual photos, as the ones posted before were mainly stock photos or other people’s photos. These are actually from the Freedom Climb:
Leader Cathey Anderson, along with Lysa McMillan, hold up a banner that they had planned to bring to the top with them.
Some of the women pose with one of the porters for a photo!
A “Beware” sign at the beginning of the climb, which certainly didn’t deter any of our fearless climbers!
Trekking poles were a vital part of taking some of the weight off the climber’s knees.
The climbers take a quick break by a stream. No doubt it was cold water!
One of the campsites. There were lots of campers out there!
The team of porters carried the heavy stuff, i.e. tents, water, and food. Praise the Lord for them!
One of our climbers, triumphantly standing on some steep rocks!
Although it’s a bit blurry, this photo depicts the women eating in a tent one night. Looks cozy in there compared to outside!
From Kibo Slopes Safaris:
“The ladies are safely back in Loitokitok. 44 out of 48 reached the Gillman’s point (18,647 feet) and 28 of them Uhuru peak (19,336 feet). The ladies not only managed to conquer the Rooftop of Africa but also set an example of women’s strength and determination.”
