Kili2010 kicks off to support clean water in Africa.
About two dozen domainers have begun their ascent of Mount Kilimanjaro in an effort to raise awareness and money for The Water School, a charity.
The group, organized by Rick Latona and Gregg McNair, is attempting to reach the summit which peaks at 19,340 feet. Each climber was tasked with raising $1 CAD per foot, or $19,340 for The Water School. You can see each climber’s personal page and fundraising progress here.
Communications coverage is spotty, but Sedo has provided a couple pictures. Here’s the first one, at camp at about 10,000 feet on day 1. Apparently it rained the first part of the day but the sun came out at camp.
Camp on day two is at 15,000 feet:
It may be difficult to get more updates from the climbers as they go higher, but I’ll report back if I get any.
In the meantime, donations of all sizes are welcome. You can donate to an individual climber’s goal. Or, if you’re like me and don’t want to show favorites, just donate to the overall cause.

Hi, That’s great – thanx for posting pix, Andrew! It doesn’t look like they’re freezing at 10,000 ft! Here is a twitter link where that Greg McNair must be updating:
