Scaling Kilimanjaro
An audio slideshow of Liz Freer's emotional journey to the top of Africa's tallest mountain
Photographer Liz Freer (Col class of ’08) and her mother, Dr. Carol Freer (Grad class of ’86), climbed Mount Kilimanjaro to raise funds for breast cancer research with Climb for Hope. Freer brought back images of winding footpaths worn into the loose shale of the alpine desert and blue-white glaciers perched high above the clouds. The journey to reach the 19,330-foot summit was not only physically arduous, but also strengthened the mother-daughter relationship.
