No... no I have not hiked either Kilimanjaro or Everest yet, but I definitely have been re-inspired to try! My roommate lent me one of her favorite books called Touch the Top of the World. It's an autobiography of a blind man who hiked all the major peaks in the world... BLIND! Amazing! Definitely a good read! I would highly recommend it!
I've always been fascinated with mountains, with a particular interest in Everest. Its probably my dad's fault. He's always had a passion for Everest which is the reason we went and saw it a couple years ago. It is a magnificent mountain. I can't imagine climbing it. It was inspirational as our chartered helicopter flew up to 19,000 ft over base camp and all the trekkers. I wonder if I could ever really be there one day (that is IF I ever get back in shape... ha ha).
