The Eyes Free Sports Podcast: Ep. 152 – Taking a Hike Up Mount Kilimanjaro
In Episode 152 of the Eyes Free Sports podcast, we discuss a recent climb of nearly 50 individuals with disabilities up Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. We are joined by two members of the group – Drs. Conchita Hernandez and Sachin Pavithran – who were two of three visually impaired climbers in the group. During the conversation, they discussed:
Their visual impairments
Their personal and professional backgrounds
Their backgrounds in adaptive sports and recreational activities
How they got connected to the #AccessibleTogether Climb of Mt. Kilimanjaro this summer
A day-by-day recap of the climb
Their guides and other adaptations they used as visually impaired climbers
Other participants they got to know
What completing the climb meant to them and how they felt afterward
