Harry Coumnas's Ultimate Aim Is To Climb The Seven Summits

Harry Coumans is one of the world's youngest mountaineers, who has successfully completed many challenging climbs. What he likes the most about mountaineering is that it is a constant battle with yourself. As a professional climber, he always tries to see how far he can push himself to achieve his goals. Describing how it feels while standing on the top of a peak, he says, “ It's a feeling of total elation at the top. On one hand you are completely filled with pride and excitement, but on the other hand you know that you're only halfway. For me reaching the top isn't the goal. Getting back home is the goal.”

Harry Coumnas's ultimate aim is to climb the Seven Summits, which are the highest mountains of each of the seven continents. Summiting these peaks is a mountaineering challenge, which comes with lots of hurdles. In spite of these hurdles, Harry is confident that he will emerge as a winner. His previous attempt to climb all seven summits was in 2011, which did not turn out the way he wanted. When his group, which included eight more climbers besides him, reached at Aconcagua's highest camp, a devastating storm hit & killed four of them. Due to bad weather, they had to cease their mission and return to the base camp.

Now after three years, Harry Coumnas wants to attempt climbing the Seven Summits once again. He hopes the weather conditions to remain favorable for the climbers. This time, he will be climbing with nine more climbers, including – Stephen M. Sarvis, Mike J., Jay Peterson, Jack Z. Chan, Jenny Cooper, Kim K. Kennedy, Joe Anderson, Ryan Tave, and Garry K.
