Nicolai and I have been invited to attend the Mountainfilm Festival where the short film documenting our climb of Mount Kilimanjaro will be screened. Nico’s Challenge, masterfully edited by local producer, Steve Audette, was one of ten documentaries selected from a field of 600 entrants. Even before picking up our credentials, which gave us Carte Blanche access to the entire festival, Nicolai is stopped several times on the street by local students and Mountainfilm volunteers who recognized him from an advanced showing of the film at the high school earlier in the day. I felt like I was traveling with a rock star.
