At a height of 5,895 m above sea level, Mt. Kilimanjaro is Africa's
highest mountain, and the highest mountain on Earth it is possible
to climb with no technical mountaineering experience. It is this
accessibility that makes Kilimanjaro such an attractive
destination, with 25,000 people attempting the climb every year; it
is also what attracts people with absolutely no experience of
climbing or high altitudes: people like Chris Baker. Join Chris as
he learns exactly what it takes to climb one of the world's highest
mountains; it is a journey that will push him to his limits as he
battles against exhaustion and altitude sickness. After plunging
him into the culture shock of Tanzanian life, it will whisk him
from the equatorial rainforests of Africa to a world that he never
knew existed, a world of unimaginable beauty and outright
hostility. He will watch as his expedition comes perilously close
to disaster, lose the sight in one of his eyes and lick a glacier.
But will he make it to the summit?
