    Now, there’s a woman who might climb mountains for love. Or maybe Justin Timberlake told her to go take a hike. It was a six-day hike. Color me impressed.
    What Jessica Biel appears to lack in personality, she makes up for with beauty, a charitable heart, and athletic prowess.
    Jessica Biel had rapper Lupe Fiasco along with her for the hike, so she had musical talent in tow.
    Btw, JT’s definitely no slouch in the charity department. He reportedly helped raise a cool $9M for the Shriner’s Hospital for Children in 2009.

    You know the hikers leave poop, pee and human debrie all over that mountain as well as destroy the snowpack and atmosphere with their germs and presence.. What a dumb promotion. Spoil the clean water it would have made.

      Well, aren’t you just a bundle of joy? How do you know they didn’t keep their waste in a container or something? And don’t animals piss and shit on mountain, as well? What the hell are humans doing on this planet, anyway?! GET THE HELL OFF OF EARTH, HUMANS!!!!

      They probably did the hike in 1 day, so they probably didn’t leave too much debris lying around.

    Save the Mountain

    Let’s not sugar-coat the facts – Kilimanjaro is in danger of becoming a large latrine. With 25,000-plus climbers visiting its slopes every year and three to four times as many when you count porters and guides, the situation is getting serious.

    I haven’t been to Kilimanjaro, but I’ve climbed quite a few harder (more technical), taller mountains. Kilimanjaro is basically a cold, thin-air, walk-up, but you don’t run up and down in one day. You need to acclimate for several days at least; a week would be better. You might stop a few times to sleep on the way up, to increase the oxygen-rich hemoglobin in your blood.

    Yes, you’d pee anywhere (pretty harmless), but poo depends on local policies. Your guides might trek it out (hazard pay!), but, more likely, there are latrines of sorts at the camps. Some similar tourist peaks, like the volcanoes outside Mexico City, are often festooned with poo like your local doggy park. You also have to consider trash itself. Even though you and your guides might try to carry out or burn all trash, that’s not always easy and other climbers might not be as careful. So popular peaks can get pretty ugly.

    Can we shut up about the pee for a minute? geeze you guys are so freaking annoying. Stop bitching about it!

    Now I think its pretty awesome that they went up there for that. I was in Tanzania last May and Kilimanjaro is an incredible sight to behold- world’s highest free-standing rise…

    anyways… I wish I would have climbed it when I had the chance. Africa is amazing and I love that these people are bringing attention to this issue. Its not like there is a shortage of water or a drought- it is just the management of it… Water is not as accessable as it should be. at one large orphanage that we spent some time at the kids would spend a few hours each day hiking down a dangerously steep hill through the jungle just to fetch a couple of buckets. Its pretty sad… and on top of that there is no real filtration or purification system. Without proper management of the water people can become very sick.

    anyways… this is what I call newsworthy.

    Aren’t filtration and purification also an issue of human waste?
