From 1993 to 2005, Jamie Clarke scaled five of the world's highest Seven Summits - Mount Aconcagua (South America), Mount McKinley (North America) Mount Everest (Aisia), Mount Kilimanjaro (Africa) and Mount Elbrus (Europe). In 1999, Jamie did something completely different - he traversed the Empty Quarter of Arabia on camel.

 

 

 

"As wide as all the world, great, high, and unbelievably white in the sun, was the square top of Mount Kilimanjaro." Ernest Hemingway

July 19 - 28, 2001
Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest freestanding mountain in the world. It is actually a three coned, 19,335-foot volcano. Though none of the volcano's cones have been active in modern times, steam and sulphur are still released from Kilbo, the tallest cone. Kilimanjaro's summit is crowned by a huge crater - it is one and a half miles wide.

Although Kilimanjaro is not as technically difficult as Everest, it is the most climatically diverse. Snow capped and shrouded by clouds, a climb up Kilimanjaro will expose an individual to temperatures ranging from 85 degrees at the foot of the mountain to - 4 degrees on the summit.

Africa first inspired Jamie to pursue an adventuresome life.  Now, more than ten years later - after climbing Mount Everest, Mount McKinley and Mount Aconcagua - after having traversed the Empty Quarter of Arabia - and after adventuring in 40 countries - Jamie has returned to Africa.

Kilimanjaro is a great warm-up to the remaining summits he has yet to explore - the Carstensz Pyramid (Indonesia), Mount Elbrus (Europe) and Mount Vinson (Antarctica). Please visit our website often for expedition updates.
