Thanks but no thanks.I won't be going.
I'll jump from a plane in a kilt but I will not climb a mountain.

This is excellent. I climbed Kilimanjaro back in 1998, and it was a blast. I would love to do so in a kilt . . . except up at the top, where the wind chill can reach -50 degrees. Might be a bit chilly.

Looks like a very interesting climb. I've never had the opportunity to try that one, and it looks like a worthwhile charity to be raising money for. I wish them luck.

Will they be climbing to the twin peaks of Mount Kilimanjaro? ![Wink](http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif) ![Wink](http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
My cousin's been up Kilimanjaro and McKinley. I like hiking, don't know about mountain climbing.

Can't believe I have missed this! Sounds like they departed today. A climb on Mt. Kilamanjaro is on my "bucket list." Doing it kilted, even more so! Reportedly no mountain climbing experience is needed, just be in reasonable shape to enjoy a slow, gradual ascent.
If they do this again in the future, I would love to take part. I'm so jealous.
