"The book is a really warm and inspiring story, and I think highlights perfectly how a couple of regular people can really accomplish something amazing."
- Shannon Singh, Program Coordinator, Plan Canada
"This book is a testament to all of us that dreams can come true with a little grit and determination. If you're the kind of person who can usually find any excuse to talk yourself out of a great idea this book is the inspiration you need to get out your comfort zone and make things happen. Kilimanjaro and Beyond is a very honest and detailed account of the trials and tribulations experienced while climbing Africa's highest peak. The most amazing part of this journey is that it wasn't just a selfish mission to stand at lofty heights but one which resulted in bringing clean water to hundreds of Tanzanian children. An inspiring read."
- Helen Osler, author of Cameras of Kilimanjaro - Australia
"Finlay shares his story of self discovery and challenge against the backdrop of climbing Africa's highest peak: Kilimanjaro. His story is a descriptive illustration of the difficulties of climbing to high-altitude, and the lessons he learns along the way. Although not a climbers guide, one should always seek input from experts and professionals before embarking on an expedition, this book conveys Finlay's personal experience and connects to the reader with the smart use of a diary voice."
