Summit on the Summit kicks off

01.08.2010

 

All right people, it’s time to initiate daily check-ins with the Summit on the Summit crew. You may know that the project, spearheaded by Kenna, has joined forces with the Children’s Safe Drinking Water Program, amongst others, and is hoping to deliver clean drinking water to remote places all over the planet as people sponsor a foot of their climb up Mt. Kilimanjaro. With Kenna are rapper Lupe Fiasco, actors Jessica Biel and Emile Hirsch, and explorer Alexandra Cousteau, among others. Sure there’s some eye candy at play, but they still have to put one foot in front of the other like anyone else.

And they can’t fake it. Because Summit on the Summit is also a well-documented climb; the super-slick site is updated daily with information on each team member, listing heart rate, O2 level, and even the grade of the trail they are currently trekking. Talk about pressure to make it to the top. You can also follow via Twitter at @SOTSK.
