Her dream is challenging, but if she achieves it, she will become the first Bangladeshi to summit the seven highest peaks in the world, totaling 113,102 feet of climbing across seven continents, including two in extremely cold and uninhabited regions. Historically, it has been men who have attempted or completed the seven summits, followed by women from the same country. Wasfia Nazreen's accomplishment would make her a trailblazer in the record books. Bangladesh on Seven Summits is a project endorsed by the Liberation War Museum to commemorate 40 years of Bangladesh's independence. The initiative pays homage to individuals who faced significant obstacles in establishing the nation through their determination. When inquired about finances, she mentioned to bdnews24.com that she had liquidated all the jewelry left by her mother and also sold the small property she had inherited, providing the initial capital for the campaign. Mutual Trust Bank & Renata Limited sponsored Wasfia for her expedition to Elbrus. She is now urging other national companies to support her in her mission to place Bangladesh's flag on the highest point of every continent. Wasfia shared that she has left her job to focus on achieving this goal within the next year or so, and she is determined to succeed even if it takes a decade. Her first step was to conquer Mount Elbrus, the highest peak in Europe, located on the borders of Russia and Georgia. Since February, the usual climbing route to the European summit on the south side of the mountain has been closed due to terrorist attacks. As a result, the team had to switch their climb to the North side, which is riskier and less explored, with more crevasses. On July 10, the team attempted their first summit push but encountered severe weather conditions like thunderstorms, strong winds, and poor visibility. Finally, on July 12, the team got within 300 meters of the summit. However, they had to retreat due to the extreme weather and a deadline to descend by mid-day. She plans to return to Elbrus to finish the final 300 meters once the situation improves. Wasfia expressed her thoughts on the matter from nearly the top of Europe via satellite message, urging the youth of Bangladesh to lead the country forward in honor of the martyrs of 1971. She believes it is time for Bangladesh to be acknowledged on the world stage for its beauty. Wasfia's next adventure will be climbing Kilimanjaro in September as part of her Seven Summits Plan. Located in the northeastern part of Tanzania, Kilimanjaro stands as the tallest mountain in Africa, reaching a height of 19,341 feet. In December, Wasfia plans to climb Aconcagua, the highest peak in South America at 22,841 feet, situated in the Argentinian Andes. Denali, also known as Mount McKinley, in Alaska, USA, holds the title of the highest peak in North America at 20,320 feet, and is scheduled for Wasfia's list in June or July of 2012. Wasfia considers Denali to be one of the more challenging climbs, with only an 18 percent summit rate and a high number of accidents and fatalities. In April and May of 2012, Wasfia has her sights set on conquering the highest point on Earth. If she is successful, she will become the third Bangladeshi person to reach the summit of Mount Everest, known as Sagarmatha by the Nepalese and Chomolungma by the Tibetans. Located just 750 miles from the South Pole, Vinson Massif reaches a height of 16,066 feet and is situated in the freezing cold of Antarctica. In February 2012, Wasfia plans to brave the sub-zero temperatures in order to plant a Bangladeshi flag at its peak. The final mountain on her list is Puncak Jaya, also known as the Carstensz Pyramid, located in the 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 travel to the destination in September-October 2012. She mentioned that it is a challenging journey as reaching the base-camp involves navigating through red-tape obstacles, and climbing the tough rock surface requires advanced technical skills. Wasfia expressed her desire to secure sponsorship for her mountain climbing expeditions on all continents, preferably from Bangladeshi sponsors to promote national pride in her accomplishments. She stated that she would only consider large foreign companies as a last resort for sponsorship.
