On February 5th, 2004, Kuwaiti climber Zed ‘Zeddy’ Al Refai became the first Arab man to ascend the highest mountain on every continent. He had reached the top of Mount Aconcagua in Argentina, South America, in four days. This was five years after he had climbed Mount McKinley, the highest peak in North America. Apart from exhaustion and a little frost-bite, Zeddy was in good health and very happy to have joined the elite ‘seven summit’ club. These seven summits include Mount Everest, the highest mountain on Earth. Zed’s first attempt at Everest had almost ended in calamity and a member of his team had to carry him down the mountain and save his life. Zeddy showed his determination. He had been preparing for his second attempt for many months, and in 2003 he was able to get to the top of Mount Everest. He knew it would be the hardest thing he had ever done and was nervous despite the fact that he was an experienced climber. Conditions were perilous and for much of the climb he had been fighting extreme cold, strong winds, dizzying heights and dangerously low levels of oxygen, but he was able to reach the top. It was very difficult, but he knew he had a great team supporting him and this had helped him to keep going. One of Zeddy’s aims in climbing the seven peaks was to highlight the importance of protecting the environment in the Gulf region and to inspire other Arabs to become involved in the sport. The year after climbing Aconcagua, Zeddy travelled to the mountains in Pakistan to help his fellow Muslims following the huge earthquake and take part in reconstruction efforts. You may think that Zed Al Refai had had enough of mountains after all these expeditions, but the following year he scaled the Matterhorn, a difficult and dangerous mountain in Switzerland.
