Dr. Botha has reached the summit of Ojos del Salado. It was an extremely difficult climb but he managed to meet up with some great guides to help him make it happen. They had to try it twice, but the second time was the charm!
Although the organizer wasn't very organized, these other people opened their homes and their hearts so that Dr. Botha managed to achieve his goal! Of course, he managed to make friends wherever he went with his adventurous spirit and sense of humour! Congrats! Congrats! Congrats!
Dr. Andries Botha is an incredible Canadian doctor who is taking extreme adventures to the next level! He has already climbed the seven highest summits in the world. Soon he will be the only person to have reached the summits of the seven second highest as well. That's just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to what he's done. Follow his amazing adventure here!

The Highest Volcano in the World
Dr. Botha left for Ojos del Salado in Chile yesterday and will be starting his expedition on March 4th. The expedition will take about 10 days. This mountain is the second highest in the Western Hemisphere and the highest volcano in the world. It's 22,608 ft and sits about 600 km north of Aconcagua. As many of you may remember, that is the highest in the Western Hemisphere and Dr. Botha reached the summit of that mountain in the early 2000s.
