    Watch some dude hit a golf ball off Mount Kilimanjaro

    October 13, 2014

    At nearly 20,000 feet above sea level, the Uhuru Peak on Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania is the highest spot in Africa and the highest free-standing mountain in the world. People come from all over the world to climb it -- the journey usually takes about a week and requires a sherpa to help you along. Sherpas usually cost about $5,000.

    People usually get to the top and celebrate by taking pictures, but some people want a little more. Like this guy, who trekked all the way up Kilimanjaro with a golf club, glove and hat for this video opportunity. Worth it.

    Here's a GIF of him striping his iron shot off the mountain.
