I found a half-full bottle of gin at the summit. Pele wouldn't take this picture for us because she was pretty sure someone stashed it up there to sacrifice to her, so I had to take the photo myself. No, we did not drink the gin. The altitude was enough for both of us. Max is sporting his "I climbed Kilimajaro" shirt.

Atop the tallest mountains in the world
-
Tallest if you measure from where they actually start, at the bottom of the ocean, of course! The Big Island has two big mountains, Mauna Kea (inactive volcano) and Mauna Loa (active volcano, last erupted in 1984). It's pretty easy to get to the top of Mauna Kea (there's a road) but for Mauna Loa, you have to walk.
