Tune in to daily podcasts from the route up Mount Kilimanjaro, the world's tallest free-standing mountain and, at 19,340 feet, the highest peak in Africa.
Hosted at seedmagazine.com, the series is following day-by-day progress of a team made up by:
- Will Cross, mountaineer and traveler
- Jimmy Gould, Seed board member
- Jo Anderson, environmental biologist
The team will be producing a new, three-to-six minute 'cast each day and, conditions permitting, posting them to the trek homepage as they're created. The group plans to reach Uhuru Peak—Kili's summit—on Thursday, February 15th.
