Earlier this year, Dr Anil Arora from Central Coast Day Hospital, Laser Vision Clinic Central Coast and Central Coast Eye Specialists, achieved the amazing feat of climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa and the highest single free-standing mountain in the world, with its summit of 5, 895 metres (19, 341 feet) above sea level. There are seven main routes to reach the summit, taking anywhere from 5 – 10 days. The climate can vary, with sun protection being required for the lower levels of the mountain and warm clothes for the summit. Dr Arora said that it was “a wonderful experience to set and complete the goal of achieving such a challenging feat”. Congratulations on your achievement, Dr Arora!
