Jessica Biel, Emile Hirsch, Lupe Fiasco reach Mt. Kilimanjaro summit

Tuesday the Summit on the Summit group made it to the basecamp of Mt. Kilimanjaro. The expedition included actors Jessica Biel and Emile Hirsch and rapper Lupe Fiasco and undertook the climb to raise awareness of the lack of clean drinking water for millions of people around the world. The final push to the top started at 1:30 am on Jan 12. Seven hours and 19,340 ft later the group posed for the above picture at Uhuru Peak.

The climb was organized by Ethiopian-born musician Kenna, whose father lost several family members due to waterborne illnesses. Biel, Hirsch, Fiasco and Kenna were joined on the climb by UN Foundation executive Elizabeth Gore, Alexandria Cousteau (granddaughter of Jacques Cousteau), photographer Michael Muller and Kirk Kennedy (granddaughter of Robert F. Kennedy).

Congratulations to all the climbers! What an amazing thing to do.
