14 APRIL 1,2011 Smoke Signals Msvs f 0A- Photo courtesy of Rob Greene Tribal attorney Rob Gren stands atop Uhuru Peak on Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa on Tuesday, March 1 . At 1 9,341 feet, Kilimanjaro is the highest peak in Africa. Greene took the Tribal flag along and had this picture snapped atop the peak. "It was a personal challenge for me since I recently turned 50 and it was a great honor to take the Tribal flag with me," Greene said. The trek up Kilimanjaro took nine days - seven up and two down - and Greene said the climb was "challenging." However, he added, he will not be tackling the tallest peaks on other continents, such as Mt. Everest.
