The Seven Summits are the highest mountains on each of the seven traditional continents. On 30 April 1985, Richard Bass became the first climber to reach the summit of all seven.[1]
In January 2023, Climbing said "Today, the Seven Summits are a relatively common—almost cliché—tour of each continent's highest peak",[2] and while reaching the peak of the 'Seven Summits' is no longer considered a significant achievement amongst mountaineers, it remains a popular challenge for 'adventure mountaineers' using expedition climbing techniques.
