Through sponsoring the ‘Gyeongsang National University Mountaineering Club World’s Seven Continents Highest Peaks Expedition Team,’ Murup Hospital strives to support the spirit of mountaineers’ courage, pioneering, and challenge, and to promote it widely around the world.

The ‘Gyeongsang National University Mountaineering Club World’s Seven Continents Highest Peaks Expedition Team’ was launched vigorously in 2011 to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the university’s founding and the 50th anniversary of the Gyeongsang National University Mountaineering Club. They are currently preparing for the expedition to the last target among the highest peaks of the seven continents, Mount Vinson (4,892m), the highest peak in Antarctica.

The expedition team will embark on a 25-day journey from December 16 to January 10, 2024. If the Gyeongsang National University Mountaineering Club succeeds in climbing all the highest peaks of the seven continents, it will set a historic record as the first mountaineering club in Gyeongsangnam-do to plant the pioneering flag on the highest peaks of all seven continents worldwide.

Murup Hospital previously sponsored the 2015 expedition to Denali (6,194m), the highest peak in North America, and the 2018 expedition to Everest (8,848m), the highest peak in the world, and plans to continue its ongoing support and interest in the future.
