Saeed Almemari – Broad Peak Updates

Saeed Almemari is the first UAE native to climb the Seven Summits.

This year he looked to add Broad Peak to an impressive list of climbs.

Here is the diary of his journey…

4th August

“Broad Peak is located between Pakistan and China, at an altitude of 8,075 meters above sea level. And now the UAE flag is flying on 66 mountain peaks. The trip took more than 40 days of continuous training, studying the weather conditions and many medical equipment to adapt to the weather and camping at different stations”

“The word ‘impossible’ is not found in my dictionary and in every time I was loosing hope, I was challenging myself and prove that I will reach my goal no matter what. Today, I have reached the 1st Broad Peak camp. Over height of 8,051 m, where I will continue practicing intensely to be fully prepared for the availability of the open window and then move towards the summit.”

“Today, I announce my arrival to Broad Peak camp and the finish of the easiest part of my journey. The remaining time will require intense training and countless effort continued for several days to make sure placing the ropes and adapting with the climate which will make me able to climb the summit. My journey to climb Broad Peak will depend on the announcement of the open window which will rely on the good time and weather availability. My ambition is to reach the highest summit and raise UAE flag over it.”
