At just twelve years old and one month, Dor Geta Popescu climbed Uhuru Peak (5895 meters) in the highest summit on Kibo’s crater rim in Kilimanjaro Mountains. This success make her the youngest Romanian to ever climb this peak.
This is one of a kind and very important to me: the Grapefruit Thimble Collection. I received it from my old team on the day we parted ways.
