Congratulations to Jamie Clarke for completing his 15-year quest to conquer the Seven Summits. With his recent summit of the Carstenz Pyramind in Indonesia, he joins elite company as one of the few who has climbed the highest peak of each continent.

His journey began in 1993 after climbing Argentina’s Mount Aconcagua, but according to Clarke, it wasn’t until he reached the summit of Everest that “in the back of my mind the project started taking life.” Finally, after years waiting for the right opportunity, Clarke traveled to Indonesia to finish the journey of a lifetime.

As recounted by Clarke himself, “Up the rock I climbed, along some of the thick vines, the wind howling and the temperature dropping with every foot that I rose up. A couple of hours later it seemed like there was no more ridge to climb. And I realized in a strange little moment that I was standing on the summit. And that marked for me my seventh.”

One of the most sought-after speakers in North America, Clarke shares stories of overcoming obstacles and following dreams, inspiring audiences from every industry and walk of life. Contact us for more information on bringing Jamie Clarke to your next event.
