It Takes Some Grit

I posted this a few months ago in my personal project, but it was too perfect for the theme to not post again.

In February, I headed off to Tanzania to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro. While that would have taken a bit of perseverance in itself, I also broke out in a rash thing in response to some still unknown allergen. I climbed for three days more painfully itchy than I ever imagined possible - it definitely took some grit to make it to the top like that, but it was beautiful up there!

Well done - I daresay you didn't get sick, just itchy! They look horrifying! Wonder what it was!

[Mike Gifford]

Ouch! True Grit!

You must have great stamina to withstand the itching that the rash caused and to then keep climbing...true grit :).

Yikes. Very gritty stuff.

Powerful narrative to illustrate grit. That rash is really something...hope it goes away soon and you're feeling fine again.

Oh I do remember this, gritty girl, you!
