The Vancouver Canucks like to send draft and minor league prospects up Grouse Mountain as kind of a rite of passage
All of them eventually make it, but some don't know what they're getting into until they start

Ray Lewis Forced to Give Up Kilimanjaro Climb
((ht: tacklekili.lockerdome.com))
Mad props to Mr. Lewis for even attempting to climb Africa's Mt. Kilimanjaro, something he now will be forced to try again.
Just two days into his attempt to raise money and awareness for clean water projects in eastern Africa, the former Baltimore Raven had to step aside when his oft injured foot swelled and he had a fever.
The rest of his team did continue the climb.
More from the groups attempt at climbing the 19,000 foot summit can be found on their website RIGHT HERE
Lewis, according to the website, will stay at the base camp while Doug Pitt and others complete the climb. And Lewis will be healthy and ready to begin his new part/full-time gig as an NFL analyst at ESPN when the NFL season begins at the end of July.
Here is some video the group put together as they prepared to begin their ascent:
