I pooped on Mt Kenya. You read that right, I literally took a dump atop a mountain. That was in July 2017. After a long soul searching, I packed my bags to undertake an activity I had always wanted to do, climb Mt Kenya. It was a birthday gift to me. I had done some research on what it took to climb a mountain and felt mentally ready, never mind that I had never hiked before, not even to Mt Longonot.
My starting point was Sirimon Gate in Nanyuki and off I went with a porter and cook in tow. The two were to be my companions for the next three days as I made my way to conquer the mountain which lies at 4,985 above sea level.
