| June 1, 2010 | Brit-Indian climber summits Mt Kilimanjaro in Savile Row suit | | London: Indian origin British mountaineer Ajay Sharma conquered
Mt Kilimanjaro in style wearing a dapper three piece Savile Row suit. The South
Londoner summited Africa 's highest mountain on June 1st and celebrated his 35th
birthday en route to the peak. "I wanted to dress for the occasion, because climbing
Kilimanjaro is quite a big deal. I generally wear Savile Row suits and I couldn't
face being photographed in my hiking gear. So I took a light blue, three-piece
heavy tweed to the top in a canvas carrier," the Daily Star quoted an exultant
Sharma, as saying. "I did have a bow tie in my pocket especially for the occasion,
but when I got to the summit my brain had become completely scrambled from mountain
sickness. When I reached the top, after three attempts to tie it, I gave up,"
he added. | |
