He was the first Deaf person in the world to climb the fourth mountain summit among seven continent highest peaks.

The following is a comment from Yasuyuki.

"When reaching the top of the mountain, I was very full with the heart. I made it finally though the climbing mountain period was pretty long....

 


He has succeeded in reaching the top of the highest mountain peak called Cerro Aconcagua (6960m) in Argentina, South America at 15:43 on January 3, 2010 (3:43 on January 4 in Japan standard time).

 

 


I feel energetic now without any trouble like the altitude sickness, etc. I wish to express my gratitude to everybody who is rooting for me.

I am taking a break now, and meet with the local Deaf people in Argentina and Chile, and then return home on January 17 after the adventure travel is completed".
