His final ascent took place on March 7 at Carstensz Pyramid in West Papua, Indonesia, marking the end of a journey that spanned over 20 years, CE Report quotes Agerpres

Vlad is now one of the few Romanians to achieve this feat. "Seven Summits was more than just a mountain challenge—it was about passion, determination, and overcoming obstacles," he said.

The Seven Summits include Everest (Asia), Aconcagua (South America), Denali (North America), Kilimanjaro (Africa), Vinson (Antarctica), Elbrus (Europe), and Carstensz Pyramid (Australia/Oceania). The latter, his final peak, had been inaccessible for five years due to political conflicts and is considered the most challenging due to its rugged terrain and unpredictable conditions.
