Seven Summits: two words that set the hearts of mountaineers and adventurers racing. Conquering the highest peak on each of the seven continents is the ultimate challenge for them.

SnowTrex<\/a> explains what makes the myths surrounding Everest, Aconcagua and Vinson so compelling, just how complicated climbing them is, why Mont Blanc doesn\u2019t feature on this list, and what other interesting facts there are to know about the Seven Summits.<\/strong><\/p>\n
