Gold Ice Axe Pendants Filled with Water from Kilimanjaro Summit
By Rocky Thompson on September 5th, 2007I’m going to sell you this $400 ice axe gold pendant because I know you want to stop global warming. You think $400 is too much for a silly looking ice axe pendant you’d never wear, well, did I mention that it’s filled with water from the Western Glacier taken from the summit of Kilimanjaro? Several of the 7 Summit Designs are sold out including Everest and Elbrus, but I have a handful of axes left sporting the Kilimanjaro, McKinley, and Aconcagua names, and they’re going to go fast. Put a two minute clock up for me, will you Bobby? These beautiful, hand-crafted pieces are painstakingly made by our Master Jeweler. Profits go to the Floresta Project, plus shipping and handling.

I summited Kili last year, and McKinley in 2005. For my super-human efforts and near fatal exhaustion and storm exposure, I took back sun blisters and an overpriced T-shirt that . It’s about time someone came up with a true souvenier that is not only worth its weight in gold (it is about 1/2 ounce of SOLID gold, and gold is over $700 an ounce) but is actually worthy of the experience, and gives money back to the mountain to preserve it for my children. I LOVE my axe, and everything it represents.
