Slashdot today points out that Cops on Top, the organization that climbs peaks to memorialize fallen officers, has been keeping an audioblog from their ascent of Kilimanjaro in Tanzania to honor SFPD officer Isaac Espinoza, who was slain on the streets of San Francisco last year.

The climbers have just returned to their high camp after cresting the peak, and have been using a combination of a satellite phone, open source blog software DasBlog and Eric Rice's Audioblog software to leave MP3 messages for the public on their way up the mountain.

Stu Frink reports on the latest entry that the entire team has arrived safely, and will be off the trail and back at their hotel in the next day or two. Their next expedition will be to the top of Denali, the highest point in North America, and they are accepting nominations for the memorial. Other planned climbs including an annual September 11th expedition to the highest point in each state to honor the public safety professionals who lost their lives on that day in 2001.
