 Are You Looking for High Adventure?

Do you want to challenge yourself - physically, mentally and spiritually? Do you want a once-in-a-lifetime experience? One that you can look back upon years from now and proudly share tales of excitement, achievement and empowerment?

We know how you feel. Every high achiever understands the importance of pushing themselves to new heights.

That's why we (Ruben Gonzalez and Greg Reid) make it a point to embark on new adventures every year.

Two years ago it was the Olympic bobsled adventure.
Last year it was Running with the Bulls in Pamplona.

In 2010 we plan on literally reaching new heights...

 Variety is the Spice of Life

You will have the adventure of a lifetime but you will also be pampered.

And you will travel through 5 completely different ecosystems - from thick jungles to Alpine desert and glaciers - a range of natural beauty seen nowhere else on the planet.  It's like hiking from the Equator to the North Pole in a week.

Plus, every place we will visit on our safari has very different terrain and an amazing variety of wildlife.






Challenging but Very Doable Hike

Climbing Kilimanjaro is one of the most rewarding experiences you might ever have the chance to do. It’s actually quite a bit different from climbing Everest or any other mountaineering experience.


kili


No Previous Climbing Experience Needed

There is virtually no mountaineering equipment needed, and most anyone in good physical shape has a great chance or reaching the summit if they plan carefully, even with no real previous climbing experience. It’s basically like a long hike. A hike that challenges and elevates the human spirit.

Our Expert Guide will get us to the Top

At 19,336 feet, snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania is Africa's highest peak. It is the world's tallest walkable mountains, and what a walk it is. You'll go through five different climatic zones to reach the summit through one of the most extraordinarily diverse and uniquely beautiful habitats on Earth.

By following our guide, Dean Cardinale's advice we will all reach the "roof of Africa" in good health. Dean is one of the world's top mountain guides. Truly an expert. He summited Mount Everest and takes many people up to the top of Mt. Kilimanjaro every year.





Mt. Kilimanjaro

A solitary giant. A mountain of strange wonders.

Crowned by eternal snows the mighty Kilimanjaro (19,340ft) is the highest free standing mountain in the world and dominates its landscape unlike any other mountain.

This extinct volcano looms over large game reserves and is certainly one of the world’s most impressive sights. The terrain is nothing short of dramatic - truly one of the most spectacular landscapes on Earth.





 A Life Changing Experience

Climbing Kilimanjaro and exploring its beauty is a physical achievement and a personal triumph that will change who you are from the inside out.

You will descend transformed. Filled with the feeling that you can accomplish almost anything. It's a feeling you will carry for the rest of your life.

An Incredible Mountaineering Experience

As one of the most fascinating and diverse regions on earth, Kilimanjaro has attracted both climbers and nature enthusiasts with its magnetism. The ascent up this great mountain is non-technical by nature yet it affords a full mountaineering experience.

This adventure will intertwine the allure of international travel, the beauty of the mountains and the wilds of Africa. We look forward to sharing this experience with you.

Only 10 People can Go

Only 10 people will be able to partake in this life changing and life charging adventure, where you will not just be a spectator at another "motivational" seminar but a fully involved participant.

Climbing Kilimanjaro will expand your world, enlarge your soul and inspire you to be all that you can be.

 

 

The Ultimate Networking Event!

In addition to the sessions and the confidence and team building exercises, there will be plenty of time for questions, roundtables and interactivity where everyone will learn from each other's insights and experiences.

You will leave this trip supercharged and ready to take your career and your personal life to the top!

 

 

A Magical Place You will Never Forget

"The mountains,” said the great explorer Francis Younghusband, “reserve their greatest secrets for those who attain their summits.” There is something exalting and supremely rare about climbing a great peak, a gift that can never be taken away. This is especially true of a legendary mountain like Kilimanjaro, one of the seven continental highpoints.

This may just be the most rewarding thing you ever do. Something that will impact every area of your life.

A Totally Different World

The glaciers up here are still magnificent. In the words of Audrey Selkeld in Kilimanjaro, “The crater was an utterly different world, filled with rusty-colored gravel from which rose walls of turquoise-tinted ice, sculpted into the most exquisite shapes. These may represent only a shadow of the former ice cap, yet still the scene takes your breath away. It really was a magic fairyland.”

A Trip that will Impact Your Whole Life

An exhilarating sense of triumph will overtake you as you reach the summit. A feeling of pride and achievement that no one will ever be able to take away. The knowledge that you have just accomplished something that very few people ever even attempt. 

When you climb Mt. Kilimanjaro and develop the habits of champions, you will enjoy the dividends of renewed zest for life and a brighter and more constructive outlook which will result in a more meaningful and constructive life.

This amazing experience really will change you from the inside out and will impact every facet of your life from now on.

We're looking forward to hearing from you.
