I am looking for new records or ways to climb Kilimanjaro. Check out New Records on Kilimanjaro.

Go up barefoot?

oooh...frostbite...ouch...how about walk on your hands? i think we saw the 'first person to wear a spiderman backpack up kili' while we were on our trip.

The first person to do the Macarana on the summit?

The first person to haul a grill, charcoal and brats to cook on the summit...if they can get the charcoal started, they can eat the brats...if they are hungry...

First bottle of Summit Extra Pale Ale on the summit.

ok crazy thought...but when my friends heard I was climbing Kili, they suggested I set a record by wearing high heels the whole way up. After summitting the mtn in Dec, I'm glad I didn't take their advice.
BTW I'm all for having brats at the top...my belly was actually growling by the time I got to the top.

You would surely break an ankle climbing with high heels. Take one of those backpacking guitars, you could be the first to play Stairway to Heaven on top of Kilimanjaro. Although probably not. If you visit guitar shops regularly, then you know that Wayne's World bit is SOOO true. "No Stairway". There's always some kid playing some choppy version of it.

Some Napoleon Dynamite stunt of some kind would be kinda' cool. Be the first to put a "Vote for Pedro" sign at the top, or the first to eat a bag of "tots"...

I hear it's best to take altitude sickness medication with you, about 50% suffer from it.

or maybe the electric sliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide!

At least one dedicated group thinks they have the answer.

I was doing some research and found this... "Bernard Goosen successfully conquered the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro @ 12:00am (Tanzanian time) on 13 October 2003, IN A WHEELCHAIR

It's insane!
