On a typical Wednesday afternoon, people on Camelback Mountain came across a not so typical hiker. 

Hikers watched in amazement as a man named Kyle Maynard climbed his way to the top despite not having arms or legs. 

"He did extremely well," said Kevin Cherilla, owner of Phoenix-based K2 Summit Productions. "Any problems he came across he did on his own." 

K2 Summit Productions is a philanthropic adventure company that takes people with physical challenges on treks all over the world. 

Maynard came to K2 wanting help to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. 

"I knew if he could suffer going up Camelback for 10 hours, he could conquer any day on Kilimanjaro," said Cherilla. 

Two months later, Cherilla led Maynard and a team of seven others up the world's highest free standing mountain. 

It typically takes able bodied hikers a week to scale Mount Kilimanjaro. 

Maynard needed only five days more, reaching the summit on the 12th day. 

"He's truly one of the most remarkable people I've ever been around," said Cherilla. "He's got great heart." 

A documentary film crew accompanied Maynard up the mountain. 

ESPN profiled his remarkable journey during SportsCenter Sunday night. 

"I've heard from family and friends all over the United States," said Cherilla. 

Cherilla hopes the story will serve as an inspiration to others. 

"If it does change someone's outlook for one day or it inspires them to overcome a hurdle in their life then it's all worth it," said Cherilla.
