It looked like COVID-19 was going to ruin a bucket-list adventure. But when a window of opportunity opened, Delia Taylor and Mary Beth Hughes, climbed right through. And kept on climbing. On Feb. 3, after a seven-day trek, Taylor, 55, and Hughes, 25, reached the top of Mount Kilimanjaro, the world’s tallest free-standing mountain at 19,341 feet above sea level. “To stand on top at times looked like what only heaven could be imagined to look like,” said Taylor, of Denham Springs. Hughes, who grew up in Denham Springs and now works as an assignment editor for the Fox News Channel in Washington, D.C., had toyed with the idea of climbing Kilimanjaro for several years.

Now the Baton Rouge accountant, who had never climbed a mountain before, can scratch climbing Mount Kilimanjaro off her bucket list. “I don’t know where the original thought came from, because I know no one who’s a mountain climber,” Dalgo said. “We live in flat Louisiana, for crying out loud.” She still does. But the summit of Africa's tallest peak is now in her rearview mirror. On June 30, a day before her life odometer rolled over to 50, Dalgo reached the snow-covered, 19,341-foot peak in Tanzania. That ended seven days of climbing and months of planning. Unable to find someone to join her on the adventure, Dalgo decided to go it alone. She had to overcome her fears of going to Africa by herself as well as prepare for the physical challenge, which was hard to do locally. She booked the trip with Climb Kili, a … [Read more...] about How did Baton Rouge accountant spend 50th birthday? Conquering Mount Kilimanjaro
