5 Weeks in Tanzania
Ethan Bezner, a rising Junior at the University of Georgia, spent his four-week ‘May-Mester’ studying in Tanzania, Africa. Working towards his major, Health Promotion, with an emphasis in Behavioral Medicine, Ethan is a Pre-Medical student at the UGA College of Public Health. His short time in Tanzania offered him an opportunity to explore a new culture, conduct research and volunteer at an orphanage in Moshi.

Excursions Galore
A quick trip to Zanzibar and a multi-day safari in the Serengeti may have topped the list for many, however Ethan was most excited to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro and summit Uhuru Peak – Africa’s tallest point (19,341 feet above sea-level).

The Invitation
Ethan invited his father, Robert, to join him on the hike. Without hesitation, Robert booked his airfare and coordinated logistics to arrive in Moshi just one day prior to embarking on what would be the journey of a lifetime.

A Time to Think
It takes five days to ascend the mountain via the Marangu Route. The hike was a challenge for the body and the mind – an opportunity to test both physical and mental conditioning. Traversing four distinct biomes at different elevations, the human body undergoes physiological changes to adapt to new environments. And provides for ample time to simply… think.

Design Discussions
Relying on the mechanics of trekking poles while calibrating each footstep up and down the mountain, the obsession began. Ethan and Robert spent hours brainstorming ideas to uncover expanded functionality for the trekking poles they depended on daily (and nightly) to maintain solid footing on loose gravel, boulders and eventually, ice.

The Summit
Robert and Ethan, along with Ethan's UGA cohort summitted Uhuru Peak on June 4th, 2025. As the group approached the basecamp, Ethan posed the following question to his dad, "what if we could create a modular mobility and recovery system to enable stability and balance?". And Robert's one word response was, "forever. Thus the beginning of Able Physics.
