Dmitry is the latest member of the Kilimanjaro Club

The Kilimanjaro Club lists people I know who have scaled Mt. Kilimanjaro, including those who join me every year on the annual Mwalimu Nyerere/Mt. Kilimanjaro Charity Climb and those who join me for my non-charity climbs. 
***********************************************************
On 13th December 2010, during my third ascent of Mt. Kilimanjaro, I reached Stella Point at an altitude of 5,756m just before sunrise with Solomon, my mountain guide, and met Dmitry with his two guides, one of whom was Freddy. Both of our teams reached Uhuru Peak at around the same time just after 7:00 that morning.
At Stella Point, Dmitry (right) and Freddy, his guide (left) with another guide.
At the summit, I handed my camera to Dmitry and asked him to take a photo of the event of the day as I shook hands with my guide Solomon (right).
