	Amazon.de: Seven Summits: English Books: Dick Bass,Frank Wells,Rick Ridgeway (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		For their third and final attempt on Mt. Everest, Wells had to choose between the summit try and his family; Bass completed the seventh summit to become the oldest man to stand on top of the world.
		"Seven Summits" is for the most part an entertaining read, though anyone who isn't wealthy enough to follow in Dick and Frank's footsteps will probably have difficulty truly rooting for them in their quest.
		First, climbing the seven summits (the tallest mountains on each continent) is by the standards of true mountaineers not a terribly impressive feat.

		He hired professional climbers to help him reach Everest, by far the most difficult of his Seven, completed his Everest summit April 30, 1985, and then co-authored the book, describing the undertaking.
		As of 2003, somewhat more than 100 climbers have climbed all seven of the peaks on one or the other of those two lists; about 40% of those have climbed all of the eight peaks required to complete both lists.
		Many mountain climbers, beyond these hundred and some, aspire to complete the seven ascents of one or both of these lists, but the expense, physical ability, and danger involved often turn out to be far beyond the resources they can bring to the project.

		These are not the seven highest peaks of the Valley, any more than the Seven Summits are the seven highest peaks in the world.
		The 2,149-foot summit is another peak the public can't reach.
		Although this summit is the easiest of the lot and within a short hike regardless of your starting point, the area near the summit is quite steep and has lots of loose rock.

	Wisedale cracks seven summits - SouthAfrica.info
		When South African Sean Wisedale summited Africa's highest peak, however, he became only the 79th* climber of all time, and the first African, to have climbed the highest mountain on each of the seven continents.
		Wisedale was filming the Discovery Everest 2003 expedition, and was able to join another expedition crew for a last summit attempt after the rest of the South African team were finally forced to abandon their quest.
		To climb the highest mountain on each of the seven continents is a challenge that mountaineers have aspired to since American Dick Bass first publicised the idea in his book "Seven Summits" in 1985 - although he climbed the Australian summit Kosciuszko instead of the higher, more difficult Carstensz Pyramid.

	Peakbagger.com - The Seven Summits
		The "Seven Summits" is the name given to highest points of the seven continents of the world.
		Puncack Jaya (Carstenz Pyramid) on the island of New Guinea is clearly a dominant summit in the world hierarchy--it is the highest point between the high peaks of Central Asia and the Andes, and the highest peak on an island in the world.
		There are two main issue with calling it one of the seven summits: First, it is hard to call it a continental high point when it is not on a continental landmass, and second, politically it is in Indonesia, part of Asia.

		For their third and final attempt on Mt. Everest, Wells had to choose between the summit try and his family; Bass completed the seventh summit to become the oldest man to stand on top of the world, and the first to reach the highest point on each continent.

	SummitPost - Seven Summits -- Climbing, Hiking & Mountaineering
		The Summitpost pages about the Seven Summits are all (but one) of good quality and therefore, I don't find much reason of writing a novel sized page about the peaks.
		The seven summits peaks are quite easy, technically speaking and therefore even non-super human climbers have a fair chance of succeding with the task.
		It is regarded as one of the easist of the seven.

	Millennium Seven Summits Expedition
		Then on the 7th'ish there's supposed to be 35 knot winds at 24,000' which is too strong for summiting and, hopefully, then a drop in wind for maybe the 8th or 9th which is our proposed date of summiting.
		We are hoping that this team tonight will make a success of their summit attempt and break some sort of trail up from the Balcony to the South Summit and onto the true summit.
		We, the Brit team of the Millennium Seven Summits were the first to summit Mount Everest by the South side in the new Millennium and the news has spread like absolute wildfire.
