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.
