Aint No Mountain High Enough

One of the things we are going to be doing in Cameroon is climbing Mount Cameroon. It is also known by it’s native name of Mongo ma Ndemi ("Mountain of Greatness"). Mt. Cameroon’s elevation is 13,255 ft. It is actually one of Africa’s largest volcanoes. Mt. Cameroon has the most frequent eruptions of any West African volcano. It’s last known eruption was in 2000. (Hopefully it won’t erupt again until after we have climb it!)
