Khalid al Siyabi gave an enthralling talk about his ascent to the top of Everest for the Historical Association of Oman today.

No matter how many people do it each one who achieves such a feat is a remarkable person. He made clear through his candid answers to questions that – not only is some physical fitness needed but mental courage and focus to deal with a vast range of life experiences packed into 60 days climbing.
