Expert guide and record-holding climber, Charlotte’s Macon Dunnagan has led thrill-seekers, first-timers and veteran climbers up and down one of the most storied rock formations on the globe: Africa’s Mount Kilimanjaro. Macon fell in love with this mountain after his first climb in 1999, and over the course of the last decade and change, he’s earned considerable expertise, unimaginable experiences, and incredible stories as both a climber and tour guide. Every new hike is a unique journey, no matter the preparation or destination. Macon’s novel, Sons of Kilimanjaro, tells the fictional story of the bond four climbers will forge as they take on the personal and physical challenges of this 19,000 foot climb.
Save the date for November 4 to hear Macon bring the real stories of Kilimanjaro back home to Charlotte, and maybe even give us the inside scoop on the upcoming sequel to Sons of Kilimanjaro!
