If someone doesn't do something soon to curb the climber count AND
the rubbish they're leaving behind, we're gonna have to add to the
list (of places with 'em) the slums of Kilimanjaro. And Everett, and

An 18-year-old (female) Californian recently became the youngest
person to complete climbs to the top of the highest peaks on each
of the seven continents. She did Kilimanjaro when she was 12.
