James & Sam take on Mount Kilimanjaro
Located in Tanzania, East Africa, 19,341 feet hight, Mount Kilimanjaro is not only Africa's tallest peak, but the tallest free-standing mountain in the world. Kilimanjaro is also one of the ‘seven summits’.
Approximately 30,000 people climb Kilimanjaro every year however, reportedly and mostly due to altitude sickness 50% of all climbers fail.
This wasn't the case for our James Allerton and Sam Simpkin who in the early hours of yesterday morning (Monday 10th June 2024) reached the summit in just 5days.
This is such a great achievement and send the boys the biggest of congratulations in completing such in impressive feat.
