Jean-Marc Nowak - A Symbol of Courage and Determination

Jean-Marc Nowak, an amazingly courageous mountaineer and expedition leader, has bagged the credit of climbing the summit of Everest on May 21, 2011 alone with his Sherpa Cho Oyu, Nuru. Being an employee at the Principality of Monaco Hall, he was the first person to plant the flag of Monaco Hall on the peak of Mount Everest, the approximate height of which is estimated as 8850m.

He is an honored personality in the International Adventure Sports Festival in Vallauris in Southern France. Being one of the main characters, Jean-Marc Nowak was nominated for the film "A la conquĂȘte de l'Everest" - a movie that reveals how seven amateurs planned to challenge the impossible and finally reached to the top of the world even though they did not have sufficient experience and had physical disabilities. This movie was shot by the members of the expedition during spring 2007.

A person living in the extreme altitudes, Jean-Marc Nowak climbed the 'seven summits', the seven highest peaks on all seven continents: Kilimanjaro (Africa), McKinley (North America), Aconcagua (South America), Elbrus (in the border between Asia and Europe), Vinson (Antarctica), Pyramid of Carsternsz (Oceania) and finally Mount Everest (Asia).

As you imagine, climbing seven summits is not an ordinary activity for any alpinist - and only a brave heart with a strong determination to achieve the impossible can achieve those performances.

The most daring, the highest and the hardest of all is the Mount Everest and Jean-Marc tried to reach on 2007 and 2011, while the initial ascent (2007) was a failure as his team had to come back after reaching 150m, but on 2011 he topped the success alone with his own will-power and self-determination to achieve the impossible.

The triumph he made on 2011 is definitely noteworthy, because over one hundred and fifty climbers had to turn around due to extreme weather condition. In fact, there were many teams with Sherpa but they also had to return due to inadequate experience and poor leadership quality. So you can easily visualize how difficult it was to succeed. But Jean-Marc Nowak never learned to be beaten - he is the person who makes his own way and that's what he did and crowned the success of being one of the greatest climbers of all time.

Not only ascents that highlight his personality, but also his contribution to various humanitarian activities earned him a great respect. Jean-Marc Nowak is involved in various charitable events organized by the Principality of Monaco Hall.

While interviewed by me on the secret of his unswerving success formula, like any brave and insightful individual he shared that the source of his success relies on the positive energy and he confirmed that this is the positive attitude that he always carries before leaving for any expedition.

It can be important to learn the way he used to manage and cope up with all the difficulties on the extreme points at the high altitudes. In fact, with all adverse weather conditions, full of high winds and storms, it is his power of positive attitude that helps him to stay calm and to face the difficulties bravely. Being able to visualize the worst and loading with positive energy to battle against adverse condition is what makes Jean-Marc Nowak so much successful.

I am pleased to introduce such an incredible personality who has always been living on the edge. With his all activities and achievements throughout his life Jean-Marc Nowak has taught us that nothing is impossible in life.
