Se7en Summits
All ski tourers certainly know the seven summits and many dream of scaling them. They are the highest mountains on each of the seven continents, from the biting cold of the Antarctic to Australia’s sunny beaches and the savannas of Africa. Only 140 people, or so, have made this dream come true since 1985. Olof Sundström and Martin Letzter went one step further. They wanted to be the fi rst people to climb the Seven Summits and then ski back down them.
“We had set our sights high. No one had ever climbed the world’s highest peaks and then come back down again on skis. Our strategy was based on the Eco-Alpine Style. For us that means only the basics: no guides, big camps or service teams to cook us our dinner.
The point of our project was to be one with Nature, not fight against it; we wanted to discover the mountains, not conquer them. We planned to rely solely on our limited equipment and our ability to solve problems and overcome obstacles lying in our path.
