Climber makes Kilimanjaro appeal to Taoiseach
Ian McKeever was expecting to set off on his record-breaking attempt up the 5,895m-high Mount Kilimanjaro this morning, after several days of intense preparations.
But his hopes were dashed when he was prevented from returning to his set-off point – at the foot of the so-called Rongai route — after a practice run to the summit camp on Saturday.
