While we’ve seen hundreds if not thousands Kilimanjaro charity climbs, we’ve certainly never seen 200 paragliders jump from the peak of Africa’s 19,341 foot summit in the name of charity. It will be a world-record breaking event. Three years of preparation will culminate in the largest Kilimajaro fundraising event of its kind with the 200 paragliders and support team set to start their climb up Mt Kilimanjaro on January 27 th , 2013. The project is appropriately dubbed ‘Wings of Kilimanjaro’. Paragliding pilots and passengers from around the world will aim to reach the summit and then jump off the mountain paragliding down. Normally, this type of activity is banned by the Tanzanian Government – but determination has made it possible and the team received a one-time special permission. ...

 I thought this was a really cool article worth posting!   “I can definitely notice the difference (since starting CrossFit). At the end of a long climb, I used to feel exhausted and bent over from the weight of the pack, but now I feel more upright." At 17 years old, Erica Dohring had climbed 19,341-foot Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, 20,328-foot Mount McKinley in Alaska and Argentina’s 22,841-foot Mount Aconcagua — the highest peak in the western hemisphere. With those daunting peaks behind her, she aimed for the world’s most coveted peak: 29,029-foot Mount Everest. If she reached the summit at 17 years old, she would have the extra honor of sealing the title, “Youngest American Woman to Climb Mount Everest.” However, with just a few months remaining before her 18th birthday, Dohring had little time to prepare.

In 2006, a lone climber attempting the summit of Mount Everest for the third time was, purely by chance, caught in an amateur photograph taken by another climber of the scenic mountaintop ahead. The climber in the photograph was making his way up what is known as the Final Push of the Northeast ridge, between Camp VI at 8,230 m and the summit. It was late in the afternoon, a foolishly reckless time to undertake the lengthy and dangerous route. It would be many hours before the the photographer and...
