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.
