Her dream is challenging, but if she achieves it, she will become the first Bangladeshi to conquer the seven summits of the world. This includes a total of 113,102 feet of climbing across seven continents, two of which are in extremely cold climates with no natural human presence. Historically, it has been men who have attempted or completed the seven summits, followed by women from the same country. Thus, Wasfia Nazreen would make history by achieving this feat. Bangladesh on Seven Summits is a project endorsed by the Liberation War Museum to commemorate 40 years of Bangladesh's Independence. The initiative honors the individuals who faced significant obstacles in the nation's birth through their determination. When questioned about financing, she mentioned to bdnews24.com that she had sold all the jewelry left by her mother. Wasfia also sold the property she inherited, providing the initial funding for the campaign. Mutual Trust Bank and Renata Limited sponsored Wasfia for her expedition to Elbrus. She is now urging other national companies to support her mission to place Bangladesh's flag on top of every continent. Wasfia has left her job to achieve this goal within the next year or more, and she is determined to see it through, even if it takes a decade. Her first step was to conquer Mount Elbrus, the highest peak in Europe, on July 3. Since February, the south side of the mountain, which is the usual path to the European summit, has been closed due to several terrorist attacks. As a result, her team had to change their climb to the North side, which is riskier and uncharted territory with more crevasses. On July 10, Wasfia and her team attempted their first summit push but encountered sudden weather changes including thunderstorms, strong winds, and poor visibility. Finally, on July 12, the team got within 300 meters of the summit. However, due to extreme weather conditions and a deadline to descend by mid-day, they had to retreat. She plans to return to Elbrus to finish the final 300 meters once the situation improves. Wasfia, speaking via satellite message from near the top of Europe, urged the youth of Bangladesh to continue moving the country forward in honor of the martyrs of 1971. She emphasized the need for Bangladesh to be acknowledged on the world stage for its beauty. Wasfia's next challenge will be Kilimanjaro in September as part of her Seven Summits plan. Located in the north-eastern region of Tanzania, Kilimanjaro is the tallest mountain on the African continent, standing at 19,341 feet. Wasfia has plans to climb Aconcagua in December, which is the highest peak in South America at 22,841 feet, situated in the Argentinian Andes. Denali, also known as Mount McKinley in Alaska, is the highest peak in North America at 20,320 feet, and is on Wasfia's list of mountains to conquer in June-July 2012. Wasfia considers Denali to be one of the toughest peaks to climb, with a summit success rate of only 18 percent and a high number of accidents and fatalities. In April-May 2012, Wasfia will attempt to reach the highest point in the world. If she is successful, she will become the third Bangladeshi to reach the summit of Mount Everest, known as Sagarmatha to the Nepalese and Chomolungma to the Tibetans. Located just 750 miles from the South Pole, Vinson Massif reaches a height of 16,066 feet in the extreme cold of Antarctica. In February 2012, Wasfia plans to place the Bangladeshi flag on its peak despite the sub-zero temperatures. Her final goal is to conquer Puncak Jaya, also known as the Carstensz Pyramid, which is situated in the western central highlands of Indonesia. Standing at 16,024 feet, Puncak Jaya is the tallest mountain in Oceania and the highest island peak in the world. Wasfia plans to visit the location in September-October 2012. She mentioned that the journey is perilous, with numerous obstacles to overcome before reaching the base-camp and requiring advanced technical skills to scale the challenging rock surface. Wasfia expressed her preference for Bangladeshi sponsors for her mountain climbing endeavors on all continents, emphasizing the importance of national pride in her achievements. She stated that she would only consider big foreign companies as a last resort for sponsorship.
