Through the eyes of a team of five trekkers and a local African guide, learn of the hardships and rewards of climbing this great mountain and explore the mountain’s delicate ecosystems and natural history along the way. Travel from a lush green rainforest in a tropical jungle, upward through a dense blanket of clouds to an enchanting forest of giant plans. Cross over barren desert plains and wind-sheared rock toward brilliant snowfields and glaciers atop gaping volcanic craters. Finally reach the cold, icy summit, where the team celebrates the most challenging event of their lives.
