Welcome to Seven Summits Mountaineering!

The Seven Summits are the highest peaks on each of the seven continents.  To climb to the top of each peak is a mountaineering challenge first accomplished in 1985.  This website serves to chronicle my attempt to complete the Seven Summits.  For more information about why I climb, check out the About Me page.
