Montannah Kenney, 7, is a second-grader from Austin, Texas. She's also the youngest girl ever to climb to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro, which she did in order to be closer to her dad in heaven. Her mother, Hollie Kenney, climbed with her and explains that Montannah "knew this mountain is above the clouds, so she associated that she was going to be closer to her dad" who died when she was three years old.
Hiking to the 19,341-foot summit takes about six days. The first day was easy, but the remainder was hard because of freezing temperatures and pouring rain. Through it all, Montannah knew she has an angel looking after her, and he lives in heaven. She knew she wanted to blow kisses to him and wave, and hopefully he would see her.
