Jessica attended the premiere of “Summit on the Summit: Kilimanjaro” at the Tribeca Grand Hotel in New York City.
But just because Kilimanjaro was inspiring doesn’t mean she also couldn’t be positively dominating too. In the film — which debuts Sunday at 9 p.m. ET on MTV — Biel and her fellow climbers (a team that also featured Lupe Fiasco, Santigold, Emile Hirsch and a team of scientists, United Nations ambassadors and experienced mountain guides) were brutalized by freezing rain and snow, gashed and twisted on stones and dizzied by the rapidly thinning atmospheric conditions. But that was just the physical trauma. The real challenge, for Biel at least, was overcoming the mental aspects of scaling the peak.
From a blizzard and hailstorm to altitude sickness and exhaustion, a group of Hollywood stars and activists battled the elements to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro last month. PEOPLE.com has a first look at the documentary that captured their journey. While fans followed the group’s progress online, cameras filmed the stars – including Jessica Biel, Emile Hirsch and Isabel Lucas – as they decontaminated water with local villagers, camped in the brutal weather conditions, and eventually completed the grueling seven-day trek to the top of Africa’s tallest mountain. The expedition, dubbed “Summit on the Summit,” was organized by musician Kenna to raise awareness of the global clean water crisis. The full documentary will air March 14 at 9 p.m., on MTV.

After enduring torrential rain and a blizzard earlier in the trek, the star-studded group of entertainers and activists started their final ascent of the Tanzanian mountain at 1:30 a.m. Tuesday. They climbed for seven hours, then finally reached Uhuru Peak, where they posed for a photograph holding a sign that read “SEND WATER.” With single-digit temperatures at the summit, the climbers were expected to remain at the top for no more than 45 minutes. They had planned to give a special shout-out to the father of Ethiopian-born musician Kenna, who organized the climb. Kenna’s father lost several family members due to waterborne illnesses. “The last 48 hours have been the most intense and physically grueling experience of my life. Miraculously, we all made it to the top together,” says Hirsch. “To have such a complete success for such a worthwhile cause – the global clean water crisis – more than reaching the summit is what is really satisfying.” Adds rapper Lupe Fiasco: “The thrill of conquering your fears, especially in such a physically and mentally taxing environment, can’t really be done justice in words.” Joining them on the climb are UN Foundation executive Elizabeth Gore; Alexandria Cousteau, granddaughter of ocean explorer Jacques Cousteau; photographer Michael Muller, and Kick Kennedy, environmentalist and granddaughter of Robert F. Kennedy. To see photos, videos and Tweets from the expedition, visit www.summitonthesummit.com. Source: People Magazine
After months of training and preparation, today the SUMMIT ON THE SUMMIT: Kilimanjaro climbers will begin their highly-anticipated ascent of Africa’s tallest (19,340-ft) mountain – Mt. Kilimanjaro. The reason? To raise awareness about the need for clean drinking water, as well as funds for clean water programs in the developing world. The climbers have spent the last few days visiting a village near Arusha, Tanzania where they saw, firsthand, the toll the global water crisis is taking on communities around the world, as well as the relief efforts being used to help. One clean water solution is the PUR sachet, which was developed by Procter & Gamble’s (NYSE: PG) PUR Water Filtration. Since 2004, PUR and the CSDW program have worked together to prevent water-related diseases around the globe with the PUR sachet, which is a tiny packet of powder that can transform potentially deadly water into clean, drinkable water within 30 minutes. See the PUR sachet at work here. “I went on this climb with the intention to bring awareness to the clean drinking water crisis,” said Jessica Biel. “Meeting the people and community in Tanzania, and seeing firsthand how just one PUR sachet can mean the difference between healthy water and contaminant laden water for an entire village, has been an invaluable and eye-opening experience for me. My hope is that others will be inspired to find ways that they can help; starting simply in their homes and continuing to other parts of the world. We are all in this together.” The climb – which will benefit PUR Water Filtration’s partner, the Children’s Safe Drinking Water Program (CSDW), among other clean water efforts – was created by Grammy-nominated musician, Kenna, whose father nearly lost his life as a child after contracting a water-borne disease from drinking contaminated water.
Who’s Climbing? Dr. Greg Allgood personally took the climbers on their Village Visit near Arusha, Tanzania. He frequently makes trips to Africa with the CSDW Program and recently traveled to Arusha in October 2009. However, this is the first time he’s brought such a diverse group to see the work he does around the world. “It was amazing seeing the reaction my fellow climbers had during their eye-opening visit to the village,” Dr. Greg Allgood said. “There are 4,000 children who die every day from diseases caused by unsafe drinking water, a statistic that PUR and the Children’s Safe Drinking Water Program have been working tirelessly to help address.”

While climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, as part of Kenna’s “Summit on the Summit” mission, Jessica Biel got to know the 19,000-odd feet of rock pretty well. In fact, she’s pretty sure the mountain is actually a woman.
Jessica Biel, Emile Hirsch and Isabel Lucas reached the summit of 19,340 –foot Mt. Kilimanjaro Tuesday, the sixth day of their trek up Africa’s tallest peak, in their quest to raise awareness of the global water crisis.
Jessica Biel is part of the team of climbers among Kenna, Santi Gold, Lupe Fiasco and several others who will be risking their lives and climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro on January 7th.
