Cancer Research
On 5 October Peter Simpson, one of the
founders and Directors of Rentalxpress
is going to Tanzania to climb Mount Kilamanjaro
in aid of Cancer Research UK. Peter is
looking to raise over £20,000 for
the charity and with your help this is
easily possible.
At 19,344ft (5,896m), Mt. Kilimanjaro is
the highest freestanding mountain in the
world, and one of the largest volcanoes
ever to break through the Earth's crust.
The climb starts in the rainforests of
Lemosho Glades and heads upwards on Shira
Plateau, a high altitude caldera rarely
visited by climbers.
Continuing via the beautiful Southern Flank,
Barranco Wall and Barafu Route to the
summit.
To reach the summit Peter will need to
rise at around midnight. He will tackle
the scree slopes to Stella Point, before
continuing around the rim to the highest
point, Uhuru Peak.
Most trekkers will never have experienced
a day as tough as this, with 3,600ft (1,100m)
of ascent, 7,200ft (2,200m) of descent,
and 12 to 15 hours walking. It is however
victory day!
