Kilimanjaro (5.895m), Tanzania, 2002
Seven Summits, Africa
Top of Africa - 5.895 meter Kilimanjaro in Tanzania - was planned end of November 2002. A tropical trip to the snow!
Last week of November Boris did this climb and summitted 29 of November. Although he was the only climber it wasn't a soloclimb, as it is obliged to take a guide and porters with you. This has nothing to do with the difficulty of the climb, it's more a social plan for the locals. Read more »
Aconcagua (6.962m), Argentina, 2002
Seven Summits, South America
Chile (west) and Argentina (east) fill up the southern part of South America. You can find Cerro Aconcagua - with 6.962 meters the highest mountain of both western and southern hemisphere - a bit east of Santiago de Chile.
Ramon and Peter-Arjen could go this time, so it turned out a solo off-season expedition for Boris, a daring challenge! Friday 29th of March, after two earlier attempts, Boris stood on top of Aconcagua. Read more »

Denali (6.194m), Alaska, USA

Puncak Jaya (5.030m), Papua*
Seven Summits, Oceania
Puncak Jaya is the highest mountain in the Pacific area and is usually considered to be the highest point of Australoceania in regard to the Seven Summits.
As the political situation is often instable and the costs for an expedition to Puncak Jaya are high it's not likely Ice-X is going to climb this peak any time soon. Read more »
Vinson (4.897m), Antarctica*
Seven Summits, Antarctica
Mount Vinson (4.897 meter) is the highest peak of Antarctica.
Technically this is not a very difficult mountain. Because of its location in Antarctica and the very extreme circumstances, the logistical support costs a lot of money. Read more »
Kosciuszko (2.228m), Australia*
Seven Summits, Australia
Mount Kosciuszko is located in New-South-Wales and - with an altitude of 2.228 meter - it is the highest mountain of the Australian mainland.
There is often a lot of discussion about what is the 7th Seven Summit, the more difficult Puncak Jaya, or easy Mount Kosciuszko. Therefore many people climb both peaks just to be sure. Read more »
* Ice-X has not yet executed expeditions to these peaks. They are mentioned here as they are part of the Ice-X Seven Summits Project.
