Tanzanian mountain guide Julio Ludagowho set out on Sunday, September 27, 2015 to beat the world record of ascending and descending Mt. Kilimanjaro at 6 hours, 56 minutes and 24 seconds has finally completed his climb in 11 hours, 8 minutes.
Putting up a spirited fight to complete the climb, Julio became the second Tanzanian and African to make this attempt to climb and descend the highest Mountain in Africa in the shortest time on record.
According to Julio, “Despite not beating the world record, I believe I did
my best and I hope that I have inspired other people to come and attempt the
climb.”
But Julio was not the only one who
triumphed in the Intel #TheClimbAfrica journey asAllan Thairo and Dennis
MuriiIrungu were announced as the two winners in Nigeria with the most accurate
predictions on how long it would take Julio to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro, winningthe
Asus Transformer Book T100 and Asus Fonepad.
Julio’s climb was supported by Intel,
Asus and Ahsante tours and they all had positive things to say about his
effort.
Congratulations to Julio and the
