Conquering Kilimanjaro: Sims's diary
With the aim of raising money for the Henry Surtees Foundation, Alexander Sims set himself the goal of tackling the world's highest solitary mountain, Mount Kilimanjaro. AUTOSPORT will bring you updates from Sims as he tackles the 5,895m ascent.
At 5,895m, Mount Kilimanjaro is the world's tallest solitary mountain. The high elevation, low temperature and high winds make for a challenging technical climb, even before altitude sickness takes its toll.
Braving the challenge is former McLaren AUTOSPORT BRDC award winner Alexander Sims, who is raising money for the Henry Surtees Foundation - established in the memory of his late friend, who was tragically killed during a Formula 2 race in 2009.
