Why climb Mount Kilimanjaro, Everest and more?
b'
"Every one of us has his or her personal mountain to climb. It might not be Everest or it might not be a physical mountain. Yours might be in the boardroom, on a bicycle, in your family, at school... There\'s always something we need to achieve. Something big, something difficult and something meaningful... And when you get there, remember to be thankful and reach down and pull someone else up with you."
Africa has its fair share of mountains ranges \\u2013 the Rwenzoris, the Drakensburgs, The Atlas mountains, the Nuba, Mt Kenya, and of course Mt. Kilimanjaro.
They all form a nice backdrop, but very few look at them and say: \\u201cI\\u2019m going to go and climb that mountain!\\u201d Those who do lace up their hiking boots and set out to conquer those mountains are a special group \\u2013 the mountaineer extra-ordinaries.
But one woman is in a league of her own. Saray Khumalo has done all there\\u2019s to do with African mountains and once that was done and dusted, she turned her gaze to Mt. Everest, the tallest mountain on earth at 8,849m.
But that wasn\\u2019t enough. She recently travelled to the South Pole, and she\\u2019s now planning her trip in the opposite direction \\u2013 the North Pole.
