VIVA Zimbabwe!
Two Falcon College pupils lifted the countrya��s flag high, literally, when they hoisted the national symbol at the peak of the Andes mountain range, 6 962 metres above sea level.
The duo of Joshua (17) and Stephen Freeth (16) overcame brutal weather conditions to get to the top and raised the schoola��s and the Zimbabwean flags at the top of the Andes mountain range.
The Andes in Argentina is the highest mountain range outside Asia where the Himalaya is located, with a 0,4 percent chance of getting to the peak.
Falcon College celebrated the pupilsa�� milestone with a series of pictures and congratulatory messages on its website.
a�?It was hard and it was cold and at times it was brutal a�� but they all made it to the top. They were accompanied by their father Ben Freeth and his friend James.a�?
a�?The chances were at 0,4 percent probability of all of them getting to the summit when looking at previous expedition statistics and thata��s not taking into account that they did not use guides and that it is almost unheard of for children to climb the mountain.
a�?They proudly raised both the Zimbabwe flag with the cross above it and the Falcon College flag,a�? wrote the Esigodini-based school.
Falcon College is a private boarding school in Esigodini in Matabeleland South Province. .
