In 2015 Anne Lorimor became the oldest person to ever hike Mt. Kilmanjaro. At 89 years old, she made it to the top of the "Roof of Africa" at 19,341 feet.
In Africa on Mt Kilmanjaro
Hiked an 89 year old grandmother
She did not put it off til tomorrow
Compared to others she was tougher
2015 was that record year
That is when she appeared on the stage
With dedication she would persevere
She made no excuses for her age
She more than conquered the African roof
Though she hiked on with pain in her sides
An inspiration and a living proof
She amazed all of her porter guides
And if you have mountains you can't ignore
Just remember Great Grandma Lorimor
