PUSH the LIMITS - 7 Summits

 

Have you ever tried to break your routine? Have you ever pushed yourself to go the extra mile? It is not easy, I know.  But it sure feels great when you do something extraordinary.

 

I am a graduate from the University of Manitoba and have always been competitive in various sports. Years ago, I decided to climb in Peru.  With some training and minimal knowledge of mountaineering this journey was a success.   On February 14, 2009, I summited Mount Aconcagua and on that day I knew there were no limits. My Push the Limits – 7 Summits journey had begun.

 

Mountaineering, is a combination of trekking, climbing and camping combined with inclement weather and high altitude conditions. At every corner and with every step the unknown danger lurks, and this is why training is of paramount importance to the success of each expedition.  I must be able to deal with internal and external factors that the mountain will present.  Climbing occurs in an environment indifferent to human needs, which not everyone is willing to pay the price for its many rewards.

 

The challenge of mountaineering offers me a chance to learn about myself and escape the parameters of today’s modern society. Mountains offer a place of richness and comradeship that can be found only in a few places on earth.

 

The Seven Summits, seven magical mountains that have been climbed by a select few are the highest mountain peaks on each of the seven continents.  Each mountain has its own unique climbing characteristics where one encounters and confronts different terrains and tasks.  Join me at the summit to learn more.
