Climbing Tourism: Female expedition to plant Greek flag on Mount Everest

Two Greek women that have set out to “conquer” the world’s highest mountains will on April 5 embark on their toughest challenge yet, during which they will try to scale the highest peak of Mount Everest, fully 8,848 metres above sea level, and plant a Greek flag on the “Roof of the World”, ANA reports.

Mother-of-two Vanessa Archontidou and her team mate Christina Flambouri have so far reached the summit of the highest mountains on five continents and ultimately aim to conclude the Seven Summits challenge, scaling the highest peaks of all seven continents of the world.
