A lot of us complain about little ailments — a tight back or a headache — that cut back on our workout or just lead to us spending a couple of hours bingeing on some Netflix.

Anne Lorimor, 85, of Paradise Valley doesn’t think that way. She made plans to hike Mount Kilimanjaro to try to become the oldest woman to do it.

She met the goal last month — though the folks at the Guinness Book of World Records are still working on confirming her status as the oldest to accomplish the feat. 

We talked with Anne Lorimor about her hike.
