Everybody's Everest

Sunset over the Caucasus

Will I ever climb Mount Everest?

Most probably not, too expensive and too commercial.

Then why did I name the website ClimbEverest, you may ask ?

 

Every defiance, no matter what can be someone's Everest. It doesn't matter how big this endeavor is. There is a challenge in everything, even in the smallest step, the smallest distance, the smallest  hill. Conquering your own Everest means setting your goal towards a new challenge : a new Everest. 

 

My Own Everest  started in August 2009 by Climbing Mont Blanc (4810m).

The following year I summited Elbrus West summit (5642 m) via the North side as first Belgian ever.

Next were Mera North Peak  (6476m) summited 25 october 2011 at 06:40 and Baruntse as First Belgian ever  (7152m) summited 3 november 2011 at 11:30 both in Nepal.

In Juli 2013 I climbed Cerro Chirripo (3850 m) the highest mountain of Costa Rica and Central America and in september 2013 the Mont Ventoux (1912 m) in France.

In 2014 I conquered Salak Phet (744 m) the highest peak on Koh Chang Island, Thailand.

In 2015 I set off to Nepal to climb "The Big Black" Makalu (8436m). On 25 april a major earthquake struck Nepal and put a halt on all climbing. 

In march 2017 I summited six peaks in the High Atlas: among which Toubkal (4167 m) highest of North Africa.

19 may 2017 at 08:55 I stood on top of Lhotse (8516 m) 4th highest mountain and so fulfilling my dream and becoming the first disabled person ever to do so.

22 august 2017 I climbed Mulhacen (3479 m) the highest point of mainland and Spain and the Iberian peninsula.

27 September 2019 at 04:45 I summited Manaslu (8163 m) the 8th highest mountain.

 

 

 

 

I went from 3000 to 4000 to 5000 to 6000 to 7000 to 8000. 

Does this mean that I have to look for a new hobby now?

Not at all, a lot more mountains are waiting to be conquered. Every mountain is a challenge even the smallest hill.
