    Ever dream of standing on the highest point in Africa? Follow the adventure as author Daniel Dorr recounts his inspiring experience in Kissing Kilimanjaro: Leaving It All On Top of Africa .

    • Author: Daniel Dorr
    • Softcover; 235 pages; black-and-white photographs

    Mount Kilimanjaro is sometimes called the “everyman’s Everest” because it’s possible for even a novice to reach the summit. That’s how Daniel Dorr got started; a novice who was trying to impress a beautiful brunette with dreams of adventure. 6 months later he was laying on the cold gravel trail in Africa at 18,000 ft., panting and hacking in the darkness. But it didn’t end there.

    Kissing Kilimanjaro is a detailed and sometimes humorous account of a regular guy who goes from the comforts of home to the rigors of a 19,340 ft. mountain. Join Dorr as he fondles expensive gear, travels local-style across East Africa, confronts a Masai warrior, trudges up the mountain and vomits on the top of the African continent.

    Follow him through the minor inconveniences and major self-discoveries that come with mountaineering. It’s the story of an ordinary man trying to do something extraordinary and all the rewards—both large and small—of reaching for personal fulfillment through adventure travel, physical challenge, and the ability to leave it all on the mountain.

    Made in USA.
