Everest

Richard Pattison climbed Everest on a commercial expedition organised by Summitclimb via the South Col route from Nepal. The team summitted on 19 May 2009.[1] He said of Everest:

Climbing is my passion, I realised my life time dream in the Himalayas when I stood on top of the world. I summitted Everest on 19 May 2009, it had been a long journey, slowly building up experience, skills and the mental toughness required to attempt such a great challenge. My summit day on Everest defines my life, no matter what I do in the future, I will never move beyond or past Everest.[2]

The 7 Summits are the highest mountains of each of the seven continents. Richard Pattison completed the quest after climbing Everest in 2009, but the most notable was the adventurous new route on Vinson in Antarctica as part of an Australian exploratory expedition to the Dater glacier.[3]
