Gioia Bartalo and Romi Bean recently returned from a trip to Tanzania to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. Bean capped off her Denver Broncos Cheerleading career with the hike, while Bartalo will audition again in the coming weeks. Their trip, which spanned seven days on the mountain, was a far cry from their normal interactions together on the sideline of Sports Authority Field at Mile High.
Now that they’re back from half a world away, they decided to share their story:
Gioia: The whole thing began when I moved to Colorado from Florida three years ago, right after I graduated college.
