The list of persons who have managed to climb the Seven Summits, the highest summits of all seven continents, amounts to only 108 persons. A few years ago, the German Karl Flock decided to become a member of this exclusive circle. When the doctor and mountaineer from Weilheim travelled to Alaska last June in order to climb the 6194 metre high Mount McKinley, the highest peak of North America, to fulfil his dream, he was accompanied by Michael Pause and his camera team.
