Virtual Climb of Mount Kilimanjaro via Lemosho/Western Breach

01.30.2012

This, we think, is what technology and the Internet are for.

Embark has teamed up with a website called GPSFly.org to create an amazing video tour of our favorite climbing route on Mount Kilimanjaro, the Lemosho Route via the Western Breach.

You can essentially follow the entire route up Mt. Kilimanjaro, watching the landscape and the hills around you. You can determine your camp by watching the elevation in the bottom right hand corner.  You have to use Google Earth and have the plugins. And sadly, this doesn’t work on Internet Explorer.

Don’t forget to push the play button and you can slowly speed it up, by pushing the speeding button.

Amazing, huh? If the embedded video won’t play, use this link to see it on their site.
