Have you ever even seen a volcano? This dude has been to seven!
A young man from Kuwait has managed to scale the summits of seven volcanoes at the ripe age of just 24. Al Refaie has been named the youngest person to climb the Volcanic Seven Summits by the Guinness World Records.Â
Refaie climbed Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania; Mount Elbrus, Russia; Mount Giluwe, Papua New Guinea; Pico de Orizaba, Mexico; Mount Damavand, Iran; and Ojos del Salado, Argentina/Chile. The last one that set the world record was Mount Sidley, in Marie Byrd Land, Antarctica.
The 24-year-old is the 24th person in the world to scale the Seven Volcanic Summits. However, everyone else who has done it was above the age of 24 before they achieved such a tremendous feat.Â
"When I first asked my mom for the Guinness World Records Book as a kid, she told me she would only buy it if I had something amazing to make my way into it. I really don't know if she meant it that time, but here we are living the dream," Rafaie told Guinness.Â
He revealed that one of the main difficulties in ascending volcanic mountains is the weight of the gear that one needs to carry with them.Â
Before completing his journey of scaling the seven summits, Refaie attempted the world record of the fastest time to climb the highest points in all Arabian Peninsula countries.Â
However, he was declined entry into Yemen to complete the feat.Â
"My message to those who try and fail, get inspired by people who did it before and never give up. Amazing will find its way to you one way or another," he said.
