By scaling Mount Vinson, Antarctica’s highest mountain
at 4,892 metres, Tashi Malik and Nungshi Malik from Dehradun have become
the world’s first twins and siblings to climb the highest peaks on the 7 continents.
The 23-year-old twins accomplished their “Mission 2 for 7” on Dec 16,2014 Tuesday night (IST) when they conquered the mountain.
The
mission, which they have dedicated to the cause of the Indian girl
child, started by-
conquering Mt. Kilimanjaro in February 2012
mission progressed as they conquered Mt. Everest in May 2013
conquered Mt. Elbrus
in August 2013
conquered Mt. Aconcagua in January 2014
conquered Mt. Carstensz Pyramid in
March 2014 and
conquered Mt. McKinley in June 2014
Their father, Col. (Retd) Virender Singh Malik, told that -
“They will now be skiing to the South Pole and the North
Pole. Their ski to the South Pole will be an extension of their current
journey. If they accomplish it, then, in April next year, they will ski
to the North Pole. Scaling the seven summits and skiing to the South
and the North Pole — called the Explorers’ Grand Slam — will complete
their mission for the girl child.”
