To summit a mountain is a great accomplishment. And for many, the physical summit metaphorically represents overcoming the mountains of life. Anthony McClaren lost his father to Parkinson’s Disease, and for him, reaching the top of a mountain wasn’t enough to overcome the pain of that loss. As an experienced climber, he needed to do something few have done, he needed to conquer the Seven Summits. He needed to successfully climb the highest mountains on all seven continents. And he did just that in just over two years! From Everest and Kilimanjaro to Denali and Aconcagua, he did what few others had done, he summited the highest mountains on every continent. And he did four of them completely unaccompanied. Dr Mitch asks him which mountain was his hardest and his answer will amaze you. And here’s a hint, it’s not Everest. His book, ‘Seven Summits for Dad’ is his personal story of how and why he took on this quest, and what it meant to complete it in memory of his dad and to raise awareness of Parkinson’s Disease.  #Everest #Denali #Aconcagua #Kilimanjaro #Summits #mountainsoflife #climbthemountain #experientialknowledge #8seconds #whatsyourstory #justclimb #mountainclimbing #lifeisamountain #parkinsonsdisease
