MISSION COMPLETE re. It is not the desire to look down at the world from its top or a way to prove something – it’s a challenge to oneself. And it’s up to mountains, these centuries-old giants, to decide who can climb to the top and who cannot. Alexander Abramov, President of the 7 Peaks Club, seven-time Everest climber,  “Sometimes the leader understands that a climber is not ready and prevents him from going to the top. Because the climber cannot stop on his own, especially when the top is so close. The Everest is tempting, but people have to learn to swallow their pride.” Everybody wants to see Everest, but few dare climb it, and even fewer - get to the top.  Thanks to the EverTest project
