Summiting Kilimanjaro

Chris Waddell made history last year when he became the first to scale Mt. Kilimanjaro unassisted as a Paraplegic. Now you can learn about the journey from beginning to end at the Kimball Art Center.

This event is not sponsored by the NAC, but it is a great opportunity to see the abilities demonstrated by Chris on this trip.
