Every mountain top is within reach if you just keep climbing.

When author Barry Finlay undertook climbing Mount Kilimanjaro at age sixty, little did he know the lessons he learned scaling that summit would translate to overcoming any of life’s challenges. In an inspiring how-to guide drawing upon both Finlay’s experience and the inspiring stories of eight other ordinary people doing extraordinary things, Just Keep Climbing details the tools anyone can use to reach seemingly impossible goals and become the best version of themselves.

From the seventy-year-old, record-breaking sprinter and the competitive bodybuilder to those confronting addiction or a devastating medical diagnosis, each story is raw, emotional, and uplifting. Most importantly, each personal account assures us that while everyone faces their own version of Kilimanjaro, we have the power to prevail over adversity, pursue our passions, master our demons, and transform not only our own lives but the lives of others. 

Outlining the five Ps of overcoming challenges and sprinkled throughout with motivating quotes, Just Keep Climbing will inspire readers to find the joy in perseverance, success in the face of difficulty, and provide tools for the climb, whether the mountain is literal or figurative.
