What summit are you waiting to climb? | Kent Stewart | TEDxBirmingham

What unexpected journeys lay in front of you that you aren't seeing? In this TEDx talk, mountain climber Kent Stewart shares how at 50 he set out to climb the 7 Summits, and challenges us to take the first step towards our own big challenges.

Kent Stewart and his wife hiked the first of the Seven Summits - the highest peaks on each of the world’s continents - on a whim in 2006. Since that climb, Kent only has one, Mount Everest, left to summit. He fell ill during a 2013 attempt and his 2014 attempt had to be canceled after a disastrous avalanche.

Kent was on Mount Everest preparing to summit on April 25, 2015, when a 7.8 magnitude earthquake ravaged Nepal. Luckily unharmed, Kent joined other climbers in rescue and recovery efforts.

After their 2006 Kilimanjaro climb, where they saw the poverty of the Tanzanian children, Kent and his wife formed the Seven Summits Foundation to support children’s causes around the world. The founder and CEO of Reli Settlement Solutions, Kent is also a licensed attorney.
