SHEFFIELD, ENGLAND, September 22, 2010 (Press-News.org) Callum & Cyril Cutinha, aged 9 and 15 years respectively, from Sheffield, United Kingdom successfully reached Uhuru Peak on Kilimanjaro via the Machame route in 5 days on 14th August 2010.
With no prior pre-trek preparation, Callum, a Year 5 pupil from St Marie's School, and his brother Cyril from Notre Dame High School (Year 11), both made it to Uhuru Peak (5895m) with their parents Patrick and Nancy Cutinha, directors of adventure travel company Aim 4 Africa Ltd based in Sheffield. The family celebrated their victory on Africa's highest peak on Patrick and Nancy's wedding anniversary - an incredible experience for the family!
The Machame route is known to be one of the most challenging up Kilimanjaro (dubbed the "Whiskey Route") which most adults trek in 7 days. Callum is thought to be the youngest person to have conquered Kilimanjaro using this route, the youngest European national to summit Kilimanjaro, and the second youngest in the world to conquer Africa's highest peak (Keats from the USA allegedly being the youngest to climb Kilimanjaro using the less challenging Marangu route in 2008).
Callum's journal can be viewed on http://www.aim4africa.com/callum_kilijournal.html along with some photographs of his family's momentous trek.
