Sajjad Salarvand is the first Iranian who, despite having a disability and two prosthetic legs, has managed to traverse the route to the Everest Base Camp at an altitude of 5,340 meters.
Salarvand, born in 1982 in the city of Doroud, Lorestan Province, had been a professional rock climber and mountaineer for many years until he lost both of his legs below the knee in a car accident in 2016.
Before ascending Everest, Salarvand had conquered many high peaks, including Kilimanjaro.
He is one of the top three highly professional mountaineers in the world.
