: First Sports Crutch with attachable ‘feet’ for a variety of terrains

From the summit of Kilimanjaro!

Well, against all odds, Sarah and I summitted the crater’s edge (Gilman’s Point) after a 9 1/2 hour ordeal including Sarah hopping 1000ft up the mountain with only one crutch.  Sarah was spent after the climb but I still had enough of a stubborn streak in me to want to make it to Uhuru – the peak of Kibo.  It was past the cut-off time to make that ascent, however I promised Sosta that I would be quick and I was.  He cut a terrific pace but I managed to keep up most of the time.  I can’t write more now because Sosta and I are the only ones left on the mountain, and we still have a 6 hour hike left ahead of us.  By the way, Susan and Ellen BOTH summitted Uhuru – it had been decided that they should press on when the crutch disaster happened.  TTFN.
