Tess Burrows climbs Africa's highest mountain, Kilamanjaro, with a tyre packed full of her trademark peace messages
‘The spirit of adventure doesn’t get much tougher than this’ Ben Fogle
For Tess Burrows, climbing to the Roof of Africa was to be the final step to fulfil her dream. This gutsy and compassionate grandmother has spent more than a decade pushing herself to incredible limits to fulfil her dream. She has climbed the world’s highest summits and trekked to both the North and the South Poles to call out thousands of peace messages she’s collected from every nation on earth.
On this latest journey, share in Tess’ experiences of the vibrancy and colours of Africa and its people. Be with her on the profound challenges of the climb. A climb where, as a metaphor for people to pull together, she pulls a tyre packed with peace messages, up the famed summit of Africa’s highest mountain, Kilimanjaro.
More than 60 percent of people who try fail… And that’s without a tyre…
Is passion enough to make something happen?

Tess Burrows is a peace activist, climbing instructor, healer, motivational speaker and grandmother. After taking a degree in ecological science from Edinburgh University, she moved to Australia to grow trees. By the time she returned to the UK, she was the single mother of three young boys. In 1990, she started adventuring in order to raise funds for projects close to her heart. Eight years later, with her partner Pete Hammond, she founded Climb For Tibet, to gather peace messages to declaim from high places. The charity has now raised more than £150,000, mainly for building schools in Tibet.
