India’s Arjun Vajpai World’s Youngest to Summit Six Peaks over 8000M

Indian Mountaineer Arjun Vajpai this week became the Youngest Person in the World to Scale Six Peaks over 8,000 Metres when he summited the treacherous Kangchenjunga, the Third Highest Mountain in the World. But the real pinnacle, says the 24-year-old, would be when he achieves the "Grand Slam of Mountaineering" — scaling all 14 Mountains over 8,000 Metres across the world.

On May 20, the Noida-based mountaineer scaled the 8,586-metre Kanchenjunga at 8:05 am IST, but could not come down from the Advanced Base Camp till Thursday morning due to severe weather conditions. Vajpai, who became the Third Youngest Person to scale the Mount Everest at the age of 16 in 2010, started his journey to the Kangchenjunga peak on April 26 from the Advanced Base Camp, situated at a height of 5,400 metres.

Supported by Mountain Dew India’s ‘Risk Takers of India’ Campaign on his adventurous journey, Vajpai says the feat is the result of the "combined effort" of a team of Sherpas and Mountaineers. "There was no perfect recipe but a little of everything mixed into the mess. So, in the end, it was like a beautiful montage of things falling into place," Vajpai said as he prepared to return home to Noida, on the outskirts of New Delhi.

"This time we had a great team with us. The coordination between the Sherpas and the Climbing Members was much better. We did better planning before embarking on the mission," he said.

The weather conditions were initially very tricky, Vajpai said. The weather reporters would predict something and the ground reality would turn out different. His friend Alex, who filmed the whole experience till the summit, was a great morale booster, he said. "The credit also goes to a strong fixing team that included three-four Sherpas who played a vital role in helping us solve this challenge," Vajpai said.

This year’s expedition was Vajpai’s second attempt at scaling the peak. Last year, he had to return from Camp 2, at a height of 6400 metres. Sharing the pride, Naseeb Puri, director, Mountain Dew, PepsiCo India, said, "At Mountain Dew, we are firm believers that we have the ability to break out of the ordinary. We strive to inspire the youth to conquer the real mountain – the one that resides with each of us."

She said they were inspired by Vajpai from the first time they met him. "We aim to take his story, and many others, to the masses in an attempt to inspire youth to achieve the extraordinary. We are privileged to be a part of this incredible journey".

Vajpai, who took to climbing at the early age of 10, has so far scaled Mt. Everest (8,848M) in 2010, Mt. Manaslu (8,163M) and Mt. Lhotse (8,516M) in 2011, Mt. Makalu (8,486M) and Mt. Cho Oyu (8,201M) in 2016, according to the Himalayan Database, a Record Keeper of Mountaineering Feats.

With his eyes set on the loftier aim of scaling all 14 Mountains over 8,000 metres, up next is the Shishapangma Mountain in Tibet that stands at 8,027 metres above sea level. Chhang Dawa Sherpa of Nepal so far holds the Record of being the Youngest Climber of all 14 peaks at the age of 30. As he makes his way to the ascent of his ambitions, one peak at a time, Vajpai is hoping to beat that record.

✔ IG | @nimsdai: HOME . 13/14 complete and here I’m not to talk about my project or my problem with #shishapangma because my problem is too small in comparison to what I’m going to talk about now. If I hadn’t truly believed in this, I wouldn’t have shouted from the death zone where 99.9 percent of human would been breathless. Clearly I’m not that kind of person who only talks from a nice and cosy chair. If I’m taking about this from the zone where humans including myself is literally dying; it means it comes from my heart. English is my second language and may be I am not good at talking or passing the bomb proof/ solid rehearsal message but what I’m saying comes from what I BELIEVE and certainly it’s on the spot kind of thingy. . Today I’m here to talk about our HOME.Believe me my friends, when things really goes out of order with the GLOBAL WARMING ; we as a human can’t do anything to stop it then.We can only put our hands in our head and REGRET. . This is our time, this is our CHANCE to save ourselves, our generations and the mankind from the biggest CRISIS that may happen if we don’t take it seriously now. . We as a human have always adapt and survived but that’s because we can see things ahead and we have been taking precautions. This is now our time to react and save OURSELVES. . Let’s unite to SURVIVE AND SAVE OUR HOME. . . . 📸 @sandro.g.h & @iamsegang via ~@peoplewholitteraretrash #globalwarming #saveourhome #saveourplanetearth #nimsdai #uksf #14peaks7months #bremontprojectpossible #silxo #ospreyeurope #antmiddleton #adconstructiongroup #omnirisc #summitoxygen #inmarsat #thrudark #gurkhas #sherpas #elitehimalayanadventures #alwaysalittlehigher #PeopleWhoLitterAreTrash (at Manaslu) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3BRhWWlFTO/?igshid=ji05qd6dzey0
