🧗Two CSB students spent part of their summer taking on Africa's highest mountain and reaching its highest point!🗻🚩
Year 11 student Timur reached both of Mount Kilimanjaro's internationally recognised certification points: Stella Point (5,756m), located on the crater rim, and Uhuru Peak (5,895m), the mountain's highest summit and the highest point in Africa. Year 13 student Matei completed the climb via the Machame Route, starting at 1,800m and reaching the summit after several days of trekking in demanding high-altitude conditions, before completing a challenging 13km descent with 2,000m of elevation loss.
Both students pushed through thin air, steep terrain, and the physical and mental demands of a multi-day expedition to achieve something few people ever do.
Congratulations to Timur and Matei on an exceptional achievement! 🥾🏞️
