Climbing is fun, adventurous, and thrilling. However, other than offering a high adrenaline rush, some people consider climbing a challenge to prove something to themselves. This is especially true when it is someone’s life passion. These individuals go above and beyond to pursue the climb of their dreams. Ok, maybe another bonus is that everyone will also end up talking about your achievements. And that’s exactly what these four Egyptian mountain climbers have done – left the whole city in awe of their climbing excellence!
