Guinness World Records Certificate

Henrik on Denali Summit Ridge

Nice to be back in Denmark - Guinness Certificate

It is nice to be back in Denmark and familiar surroundings. After five month on the road we were welcomed by an early Danish summer - green trees, mild wind, high sun, and salty smell on the warm sandy beach - that’s life and a contrast to the harsh mountain environment.

But no sooner, than we have changed from the claustrophobic sleeping bag to the cosy bedroom and duvet, the thought about the mountains and new dreams start to take shape.
Is it going to be kite-skiing from the South Pole, a dap for the North Pole before it disappears, or a trip to the thin air on Gasherbrum II? Possibilities are endless.

It’s now one month since Soeren returned from Everest and Henrik came back from the last mountain of the Seven Summits Denali. The project as a whole ended successfully with Henrik scaling the seven summits in record time, 136 days, 20 shorter than the current record, and all climbs took place without accidents and close calls. Henrik has collected all the documentation to obtain a Guiness World Record and send it to Guiness. Soeren has started to write the tale of the adventure, which eventually will become a book, and hopefully with a lot of photos of the magnificent landscape we have seen.

No doubt the Seven Summits is hype and there are definitely business opportunities in this area. We have a lot of first hand experiences, good local contacts, and material we need to review over the summer and make some conclusions. Are the company 7 Summits going to continue as a travel agency? A leadership development program? Lecturering and publishing business? Or a mixture of the possibilities? We do not know yet, but during autumn we will find out and get back with news about what we have to offer in the future.

We wish you all a nice summer

Henrik and Soeren
