By Lyle Brennan PUBLISHED: 12:26 EST, 21 April 2012 | UPDATED: 12:26 EST, 21 April 2012 The man who set out to conquer Kilimanjaro with a nine-foot cuddly tiger strapped to his back has reached the highest peak in Africa. Paul Goldstein hauled the 30lb beast to an altitude of 19,341ft - just a few days after the two of them completed last Sunday's Brighton marathon. And as if that weren't enough, the 49-year-old is now preparing to carry his feline friend across the finish line in the London marathon tomorrow.
