I've spent most of my energy thus far focusing on raising money and getting into shape, but ultimately the reality I have to prepare myself for is the actual mountain - Kilimanjaro.
Got this link from Phil. While there are many accounts of the mountain, and I hope (but have no reason to think I will) have fewer issues with, eg, altitude sickness than the person highlighted, the NY Times provides an interesting interactive visual of the trek itself that I think some might shed some light on the task at hand. It is a sobering account and reminder of just how serious and challenging the task ahead is.
