Earlier this month, 16 climbers stepped foot on the top of Mount Kilimanjaro, one of world’s largest stratovolcanoes, approximately 19,341 feet from sea level.
These climbers are doing this to raise awareness of the billion people worldwide who lack access to clean drinking water. They hope that this climb will raise awareness of the global clean water crisis and funds for various charities and organizations.
What draws my attention about this event is the way they are raising money for this noble cause – they created world’s longest website, featuring 19,340 feet of webpage, each feet of website for each feet of height they climbed.
Even cooler, their fund raising campaign offers 1 cent for 1 litre of water for those in need and each donor gets to choose to engrave their name on one of the foot on the website. So, after you donated money to the event, you get to show off to your friends that your name is on the world’s coolest website. =D
In addition, the climbers who have reached the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro posted their pictures, tweets, and stories on the website as well, so you can see what it is like to be on various places on that mountain as if you were really there.
Lastly, I hope you have fun scrolling up and down the website of Summit on The Summit, and donate a couple of dollars at least for those in need of clean water.
I personally enjoy the website very much; tell me how you like this website by placing your comment at the end of this post.

Cheers, TaZ
