COLEMAN WAS THERE EVERY STEP OF THE WAY

My personal porter Coleman was a key reason I successfully summited Kili in January 2015. He was there every single step of the way for me. He made sure I drank water and ate snacks during the hike, carried my day pack and even my camera near the summit. 

Coleman greeted me every morning and at Crater Camp when my hands were in pain from some sunburn and cold, he even tied my boots and put on my gaiters for me. He was my shadow and my guide, always with a fantastic attitude, amazing smile and terrific sense of humor. I can’t imagine summiting with anyone else and will always be grateful for his help.
