Listen Later

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
