At age 26, investment banker Parfet arranged his first major climb – of Kilimanjaro. He was no professional climber, nor was he in any shape to be tackling a major peak. But, in just four years, with perseverance and unbelievable courage, he managed to successfully complete his quest to scale all Seven Summits – Kilimanjaro, Aconcagua, Denali, Vinson, Elbrus, Carstenz Pyramid, Kosciusko, and Everest.
