Giant Mountain Challenge:
The Giant Mountain Challenge is a quest to climb six of the highest peaks in the world. All are located in the Himalaya and are above 8000m (26,000 feet). The purpose of this challenge is to demonstrate that one can lead an extraordinary life with diabetes, an incurable condition and a global pandemic. The six peaks include:
  • Lhotse
  • Gasherbrum 1 and 2
  • Broad Peak
  • Shisha Pangma
  • Cho Oyu
The successful ascent of Everest in May 2006 completed the NovoLog Peaks and Poles Challenge; climbing the seven summits and walking to both Poles. Everest also marked the beginning of the Giant Mountain Challenge. Lhotse is next, in May 2007. Participating sponsors include the NovoLog FlexPen and Kobold Watches.
