UK Athletics Director Mitch Barnhart reached the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro on Sunday.

On Sunday, Kentucky Athletics Director Mitch Barnhart – along with a team of fellow climbers – reached the peak of Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s tallest mountain. Above is a photograph of Barnhart at the summit donning a blue coat and a UK toboggan, which should come as no surprise. He then completed a descent of the mountain and will now embark on a safari through Tanzania, a tame undertaking in comparison to scaling a mountain nearly 20,000 feet high. Barnhart will return to the United States next week and surely won’t have much time to rest with the fall sports season bearing down on us.
