Volcanic Seven Summiters – January 2022

11th January 2022 by James Stone 3 Comments

Summit party on Ojos del Salado

This blog follows my recent blog on December 2021’s Sidley expedition.  As indicated in that blog, there was one additional person who had then completed the Volcanic Seven Summits.  I can now report that two more individuals can now be added to the list.  So this blog provides an updated list of Volcanic Seven Summiters – January 2022.

In addition to Yousef al Refaie who completed last month, we now have Robbi Malandreniotis (UK) and Jarryd Commerford (USA/UK/IRE) who summited Ojos del Salado on 9th January 2022. 

It sounds like the ascent was fairly brutal with a 16 hour round trip.  That compares with the 11½ hours I took when I did the climb.  But many congratulations to them both.

There are now 26 climbers on the list.  Five are women and 15 have also climbed one or other (or both) versions of the Seven Summits.

With people completing the Volcanic Seven Summits on the same day, I list them in alphabetical order by surname.  So, if it matters, the list does not necessarily reflect the order in which people reached a summit.  I have noted them with the same number rather than seeking to give any individual preference over any other.

As ever I remain aware of a number of people who have just one or two more volcanoes to climb in order to complete the challenge.  For most, but certainly not all, this is Mount Sidley. 

But I imagine that I am unaware of others who are close to finishing.  If anyone reading this blog has any information anyone who is pursuing this challenge I would be glad to have it.  Likewise if there are any errors or omissions in the list please let me know. I am always happy to correct these.

And the Seven Summits?

None of the recent completers have current seven summits ambitions.  So there have been no changes to the details in the next couple of paragraphs as far as I am aware.

Aleks Abramov, Vitaliy Simonovic, Dan Bull, Ted Fairhurst, Satyarup Siddhanta and David Roskelley have also completed the seven continental summits (both Carstensz and Kosciuszko versions).

Mario Trimeri, François Bernard, David Hamilton, Vladislav Lachkaryev, Vaughan de la Harpe, Arthur Marsden and Oleg Mezentsev have completed the seven continental summits (Carstensz version).

Andrey Filkov and Katie Sarah have completed the seven continental summits (Kosciuszko version).

I have consistently written before that the V7S challenge is becoming more popular. There is a trend amongst those who have completed the 7S to look for other endeavours to complete. Perhaps this is not surprising for a group of driven individuals. The V7S is a part of this. But there are other challenges.

So François Bernard, Vitaliy Simonovich, Vladislav Lachkaryev, Vaughan de la Harpe and Arthur Marsden have also skied to the North and South Poles. You can expect at least a couple more achieving this combination in the course of the coming year, Covid-19 permitting.

I am also aware of other challenges that are being looked at.

But who has actually climbed the highest volcano in Australia? Should this not be one of the Volcanic Seven Summits?

Mount Sidley – December 2021 (updated)

22nd December 2021 by James Stone Leave a Comment

Yousef Al Refaie

[Updated 1st January 2022 to include details of the guides, details of summits and updated list of Mount Sidley summits]

This blog looks at ALE’s expedition to Mount Sidley in December 2021. ALE had to cancel its January 2021 trip because of Covid. So ALE proposes to run two trips this season with a further one departing in January 2022 (though I have heard a rumour that this will not in fact run – more on this later).

The group of seven left Punta Arenas, as scheduled, on 18 December. I understand that the weather was good enough that the group was able to fly straight away to the mountain. When I went we waited two days and used one day to ascend Charles Peak on the opposite side of Union Glacier.

The team of seven comprises:

  • Jaime Viñals from Guatemala. This experienced mountaineer has climbed the seven summits. Sidley will be his final one of the Volcanic Seven Summits. Interestingly he has also climbed each of the highest peaks on the seven largest islands in the world.
  • James Allen from Australia. James is another Everest summiter and has also finished the seven summits. He has also climbed four of the Volcanic Seven Summits.
  • Stephan Jesinghaus from Germany. Mount Sidley will be his sixth of the Volcanic Seven Summits.
  • Yousef Alrefaie from Kuwait. For Yousef Mount Sidley will be his final one of the Volcanic Seven Summits. He will also be the first Middle Easterner and Arab to complete them.
  • Fahd Abu Aisha from Egypt. Mount Sidley will be his sixth of the Volcanic Seven Summits.
  • Delia and Iulia Zanoschi, twins from Romania though currently resident in the USA. They are also Everest summiters and have the ambition of becoming the youngest people to have completed both the seven summits and the Volcanic Seven Summits, so “beating” Satyarup Siddhanta’s current record.

At the moment I do not know the identities of the guides. [The guides were Tom Weston and Scott Webster, both UK based guides.]

With a team of this size they will almost certainly have travelled to the mountain in a Basler.

I will update this blog as and when I receive further information. [See below]

Here is a link to what I believe to be the current list of Sidley ascents prior to this trip. And here is a link to what I believe to be the current list of those who have completed the Volcanic Seven Summits again prior to this trip.

Best of luck to the Mount Sidley December 2021 team.

Update

The team summited on 22nd December 2021 in what looks to be perfect weather. I am told that all bar Jaime Viñals made it. So only Yousef Al Refaie is added to the list of V7S completers. At 24 he is the second youngest to achieve this feat.

Alan Arnette interview with Dave Roskelley on the Volcanic Seven Summits

30th March 2021 by James Stone Leave a Comment

Ascending Mount Sidley

Dave Roskelley is a Utahn, originally from Chicago. He completed the Volcanic Seven Summits in January 2020 on Mount Sidley in Antarctica. Whilst on his trip, he and another team member were kind enough to send me photos from Mount Sidley itself. We also had a brief chat when he was at the Sidley base camp after the climb before he and the rest of the team flew from the mountain. David has also completed the Seven Summits. So I was extremely interested in watching the recent Alan Arnette interview with Dave about his Volcanic Seven Summit experiences when a friend alerted me to it.

Alan is an extremely well-known and respected blogger on all things Everest and K2. His blog is one of the top 10 mountaineering blogs in the world in terms of hits.

So when I settled down to watch it, imagine my surprise therefore when only a few minutes into the interview my name came up.

I had not been aware in advance of the interview. Alan Arnette’s blog normally sticks to the goings-on on Everest and other 8000m peaks during the Spring and Autumn seasons. Occasionally he will also focus on K2. So a discussion about the Volcanic Seven Summits is a little off beam for him. Recently Alan has been interviewing various mountaineers about Himalayan experiences.

It is quite a fun, light-hearted discussion. So I’ll forgive them both for getting Crina Popescu’s sex wrong, and for misunderstanding the formation of volcanoes generally. For the record, Crina Popescu is the youngest person to have climbed all of the Volcanic Seven Summits. Satyarup Siddhanta is the youngest person to have climbed both the Seven Summits and the Volcanic Seven Summits. Theodore (Ted) Fairhurst is the oldest person to have climbed the Volcanic Seven Summits. He is also the oldest to have climbed the Seven Summits/Volcanic Seven Summits combination. Not that any of that matters of course 😁

Here’s the interview as posted on Alan Arnette’s YouTube channel. The Alan Arnette interview with Dave Roskelley is also accessible via Alan’s blog.

Volcanic Seven Summits: Defining the Continents

5th December 2020 by James Stone Leave a Comment

Ojos del Salado - a constant on all lists of the Volcanic Seven Summits and the highest volcano in the world

I was inspired to write this blog by an essay written by the late Adam Helman (here). A comment made in my blog on Australia’s highest volcano (here) also gave me a push. Adam Helman’s essay discussed the fact that it is quite possible to define the Seven Summits differently from the traditional Bass (Kosciuszko) and Messner (Carstenz) versions. He identified that (depending on which version of “continent” was adopted) there are 12 mountains that qualify as continental summits. So with thanks to Adam Helman, this blog defines the continents in the manner he adopted and lists the Volcanic Seven Summits (or is it 11?)

Definition by tectonic plate

There are seven continental-sized continental plates, though one is largely under water. Asia and Europe are not separate continents in this respect. Therefore, as Adam Helman pointed out, if you treat the Eurasian plate as one continent Mount Elbrus would have no place on any Seven Summits list because Mount Everest is higher.

In the case of the volcanoes, however, Mount Elbrus just exceeds Mount Damavand in height. So Mount Elbrus retains its place in the list with this definition, and Damavand is relegated.

Elbrus - one of the volcanic seven summits.  Or does your definition of Continent exclude it?
Elbrus

The Pacific plate is one of the seven continental plates. Therefore the first of the lists includes Mauna Kea on the island of Hawaii on this basis.

So lists I-A and I-B look like this (with list I-B excluding the Pacific plate):

List 1-A.
Name of tectonic plateVolcanic Seven Summits
AfricanKilimanjaro
AntarcticMount Sidley
AustralianMount Giluwe

List I-B.
Name of tectonic plateVolcanic Six Summits
AfricanKilimanjaro
AntarcticMount Sidley
AustralianMount Giluwe
EurasianMount Elbrus
North AmericanPico de Orizaba
South AmericanOjos del Salado

Definition by Topographic Prominence

I have blogged about topographical prominence. I agree with Adam Helman that “Prominence is an excellent, objective measure of a mountain’s vertical stature“. Therefore the essay explains that a list on this basis would need to include mountains that had saddles at or near to sea-level and are well separated from one another.

Kilimanjaro summit - one of the Volcanic Seven Summits.  It always appears, whatever your definition of continent
Kilimanjaro summit

This approach changes the traditional separation of Asia and Europe. So the Ural mountains are no longer at the divide. Instead the Kuma–Manych Depression is the basis of the divide. Mount Elbrus then reverts to Asia and Mount Etna becomes the European volcano. [It is to be noted that Kazbek, which is higher than Etna, also fails to count as a European mountain for the same reason as Elbrus].

List II-A.
ContinentVolcanic Seven Summits
AfricaKilimanjaro
AntarcticaMount Sidley
AsiaMount Elbrus
EuropeMount Etna
North AmericaPico de Orizaba
OceaniaMount Giluwe
South AmericaOjos del Salado

Definition by Continental Outline

This definition recognises that Europe exists as a cultural and political concept, but cannot be justified on geographical grounds. Therefore there are only six volcanoes on this list. Mount Etna disappears and Brumlow Top makes its first appearance because Australia (and not Australasia or Oceania) is now the continent – see here.

List III-A.

AfricaKilimanjaro
AntarcticaMount Sidley
AsiaMount Elbrus
AustraliaBrumlow Top
North AmericaPico de Orizaba
South AmericaOjos del Salado

Political definition

The concepts of geology and topography do not constrain this definition. Using the Helman essay’s approach the intriguing and extremely remote Mawson Peak on Heard Island in the southern Indian Ocean makes an appearance.

Mawson Peak has only ever had a couple of ascents. It would undoubtedly be the most difficult peak of all those listed here to climb. Not only is it remote, but it also suffers from terrible weather and is still occasionally active. Obtaining the relevant access permits could also be a problem.

There is an article on the first ascent here.

So there are two lists depending on whether you apply the political criterion to “Australia” or “Australasia”.

List IV-A.

AsiaMount Damavand
AustralasiaMount Giluwe
EuropeMount Elbrus

South AmericaOjos del Salado

The Cultural Definition

Adam Helman points out that the first of the lists below follows the traditional Kosciuszko definition. He next overlays that first list with a political angle. My lists do the same. The distinction then becomes that between Australia and Australasia.

List V-1.

Cultural continent with political overlayVolcanic Seven Summits

AntarcticaMount Sidley
AsiaDamavand
AustralasiaMount Giluwe
EuropeMount Elbrus
North AmericaPico de Orizaba
South AmericaOjos del Salado

Conclusion

Therefore the eleven volcanoes that you have to climb in order to complete all of the lists are:

  • Ojos del Salado
  • Kilimanjaro
  • Pico de Orizaba
  • Mount Sidley
  • Mount Elbrus
  • Damavand
  • Mount Giluwe
  • Mauna Kea
  • Mount Etna
  • Mawson Peak
  • Brumlow Top

The first five appear in all of the lists, so there is no doubting their status. Mauna Kea, Mount Etna and Mawson Peak only make fleeting appearances. The others appear and disappear depending on your view as to what constitutes the continent.

So there you are. The Volcanic Seven Summits: define your continents.

Who will be the first to climb all of them?

Will you Dare to Reach?

12th July 2020 by James Stone 2 Comments

I have never reviewed a book before. So let’s give it a go.  This book is called Dare to Reach – L’Aventure d’une Vie.

Dare to Reach L'Aventure d'une Vie - front cover

Theodore (Ted) Fairhurst is a Canadian businessman, artist, traveller and mountaineer.  Rather like me he had been infected by the mountain bug in his early years. But the symptoms took a while to reach a fever pitch.  Late in life, at the age of 58, after a career as a property developer he decided it would be a good idea to climb the Seven Summits – the highest peak on each continent.  I know the feeling. 

I came across Ted by chance a couple of years ago when I was researching those who were attempting the Volcanic Seven Summits and made contact with him.  Then, aged 70, he was seeing if he could climb all the volcanoes within the year.  We have kept in touch since. So I declare my interest!

The expressed intention on Ted’s part for writing the book “is to highlight the amazing life stories we all experience when we are willing to DARE TO REACH our dreams and goals”.  That explains a part of the title.  Ted has teamed up with Emmanuel Daigle, a fellow Quebecois and a trekking guide and high altitude specialist.  That explains the other part of the title.  They write the book in both English and French.  Ted’s part is in English with a French translation and Emmanuel’s in French with an English translation.  Depending on whose story you want to tackle, you flip the book over and start to read.  I enjoyed testing out my schoolboy French.

Both narrate and relate experiences and show how they can develop you as a person.  In Ted’s case this included getting lost in a New Guinean jungle; in Emmanuel’s it was embarking on a remarkable 24 hour running challenge.

Dare to Reach is Ted’s “watch-phrase”. It is an exhortation to explore the boundaries of what you think is possible for you and to go beyond.  A novel (at least for me) feature of the book were the QR codes popping up throughout the book.  A never previously used app on my phone was soon working overtime to see what I would find.  Some direct you to their websites and others to “Dare to Reach” videos. And one takes you to a YouTube video of Ted’s showing a passage through the Khumbu icefall on Everest that has been watched (wait for it) 3.8 million times.

The two of them are not afraid to dwell on their failures.  After all lack of success will often provide you with important learning experiences.  In that way one grows.  Emmanuel’s story of learning the hard way about the effects of altitude particularly resonated with my first amateurish attempts at climbing high.  You soon learn what it takes!

Although there is a focus on mountaineering, there is a lot more in terms of appreciation of wider adventures, cultures and landscapes.  But inevitably you always return to the mountains and the life lessons, the preparation, the desire and motivation and the outcomes.  One phrase I particularly liked was “You must focus on one thing or you will die.  Your capacity for resilience determines your outcome”.  This was in the context of an Everest climb.  Often in life you will meet your own “Everest”.  OK, death may not be a risk, but focus and resilience are often as important as anything when you are on the edge.

Ted is now the oldest person to have climbed both the Seven Summits and the Volcanic Seven Summits.  Emmanuel is somewhat younger but has a similar outlook on life and will, I am sure, make waves in his own Aventure d’une Vie.

Dare to Reach L'Aventure d'une Vie - on Everest

Ted and Emmanuel self-published their book via crowdfunding – the modern way!  It is in hardback and has 200 pages.  It is full of inspiring pictures. The one taken from Camp 3 on the Lhotse face down Everest’s Western Cwm is stunning (and reproduced above).  Well worth a read.  Do you Dare to Reach?

Here is a video that Ted has produced showing his journey around the Seven Summits and the Volcanic Seven Summits.
