The Seven Summits

Aconcagua

The Seven Summits refers to the highest peak on each of the seven continents of the world. Due to their distinction of being the tallest on each continent, many mountaineers make it a big personal goal to climb each one — thus many guide services have "seven summits" programs that help climbers achieve this goal.
