Pop singer Justin Timberlake is upset that work commitments kept him from scaling Mount Kilimanjaro in January, even though he was looking forward to the trek.The Sexy Back hitmaker and rapper Kenna had come up with the idea of a celebrity trek up the African peak last year and had set about recruiting stars for the challenge.
But Timberlake himself had to pull out of the charity mission to film upcoming movie The Social Network, reported MTV online. He kept up with the team's progress daily and is proud of pal Kenna, girlfriend Jessica Biel and the other celebrities' efforts to reach the top of the peak.
"I was getting sort of a texting diary from day to day. And the one thing I heard was the hardest part was the last day because not only were they climbing from 16,000 to 19,000 feet, but that extra 3,000 was really brutal, because of the altitude," said Timberlake.
"I heard from all of them that the last 3,000 feet, every breath counted. Every single time you could conserve oxygen, you could feel it. I'm in awe that they did it. I'm really impressed," he added.
