with Daughter Erica

Rick and his daughter, Nicole, who was 12 years old at the time, were featured trekkers in David Breashears' epic IMAX film, Kilimanjaro, To the Roof of Africa.
Judi climbed Kilimanjaro with her youngest daughter, Erica, who was 14 years old at the time, and equates Erica's agility on Kilimanjaro to that of a mountain goat.
