Thorns to Kilimanjaro

This is the story of two journeys, one which makes its way towards the slopes and summit of Mount Kilimanjaro and another which takes a curving inner path into the soul of the narrator. Encouraged by his wife, who accompanies him, Hamish Malcolm undertakes a journey to the summit of Kilimanjaro, not only to return his father`s Bible but also to scatter his father`s ashes – one of his father`s final wishes. The outer journey is one in which he comes to know Kilimanjaro, its subtleties, its extremes and the crippling effects of altitude sickness. It leads to a dramatic life-threatening encounter with another climber, introducing him to a figure from his past: someone he wanted to forget. This story speaks to people individually and draws attention to one of our greatest challenges as human beings, to be first and foremost self-questioning.
