Jaffar Amin is now a 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. 
***********************************************************
When Jaffar Amin visited Butiama in April 2009 I mentioned to him my annual charity climb: The Mwalimu Nyerere/Mt. Kilimanjaro Charity Climb and he said he would join me for my next climb.

Eventually we set off on the Lemosho route on 7th December 2010 and reached the summit on the morning of 13th December.
On the first day of our trek at Londrossi Gate, with me (left), Jaffar Amin (center), and our guide, Yahoo.
He becomes the seventh member of the Kilimanjaro Club. The updated list is:
