Last year, Sharity also accompanied me to the twin mountain peaks of Mount Fuji (3,776m) and Mount Aka in Nagano, Japan. Later this month, we will also be embarking on a nine-day trek in Kyrgyzstan with a few days in the (3,000m–4,000m) and hope to be back in one piece for National Day! If so, it will be another long-overdue digital detox. However, before I leave, I will mull over how to position my portfolio to share it in the next column.
The Seven Summits refers to the highest mountains on each of the seven continents, representing the ultimate challenge for ambitious mountaineers. These are Mount Everest, Aconcagua, Denali, Elbrus, Vinson Massif, Carstensz Pyramid and Kilimanjaro.
It was at Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, where Sharity, the Community Chest elephant mascot, and I did a trek in 2022, the year I started my volunteer role as chairman of the organisation.
