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
• Their contact info
