– I would like to challenge myself.
that was the gist of it from the Swedish fashion photographer Emma Svensson, as the Extra Magazine interviewed her last year when she was in full time to achieve his insane climb-project, that would make her the first swede in the world to climb the highest mountain in all european countries in under a year.
The 27. July of this year, she is not just her goal, as she climbed the last mountain on the list, Kebnekaise in Sweden, but she also managed to beat the world Kaçak Bahis record, when she did it the entire 473 days faster than the previous record holder.

despite the fact that Emma Svensson had only climbed in a year, when Ekstra Bladet spoke with her last year, and that there is not even gone a half a year ago she climbed up on the 49. mountain on the list, so is the swede already in full swing with his next adventure: American Peaks.
Emma Svensson has decided that she will climb the highest mountain in all of the countries in the Americas, of which the first will be the 6962 meters high Aconcagua mountain in Argentina.
– here will be a far greater challenge than the european mountains. It will be the volcanoes of 6000 metres in south America, inaccessible mud hills, in the jungles of central america, and the icy glaciers in north America, writes Emma Svensson on its website and continues:
– It becomes harder, more painful, and my biggest challenge so far.

En Ekstra Bladet spoke with Emma Svensson last year, she told, that she after a break with a girlfriend suddenly had a lot of free time and, therefore, began to climb mountains for fun.
When she having a vacation then reached up on top of the largest mountain, Elbrus, is 5642 metres high, she got the idea for the unusual project with the 49 highest mountains in Europe.
– When I came home from Elbrus, I felt restless, so I made a quick research to find out if it would be possible, and two hours later I decided to do it.
It turned out however soon that the project was more difficult than expected:
– I thought that a year would be more than ample time, but it is not at all. I have a really pushed the calendar to get it to hang together with my ordinary life, and therefore there is not much time left to enjoy the climb. For most climbs I in ten hours, so I am driving ten hours to sleep in four hours, before I have to do it all again, told the Swedish climber, which, however, therefore, nevertheless, not been enough to rock climbing yet.
Emma Svensson expect that it will take her about three years to complete his new adventure.
