Maynard 'Ready for Down Time' After Reaching Summit of Kilimanjaro

Now it's back to civilization for Kyle Maynard of Suwanee.

"I've got some major X-Box to catch up on," Maynard said Friday morning in an interview on 11Alive News out of Atlanta.

Maynard, who attended Collins Hill High, and other team members reached the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania earlier this month after a 10-day climb. A motivational speaker, Maynard's effort was in part to inspire others, particularly military veterans re-entering civilian life.

Attached are excerpts from the studio session at 11Alive.

Here is a Suwanee Patch chronicle of the efforts of Maynard and team.
