To achieve success, the team had to endure almost 17 hours and 1600 meters of ascent from camp 3, resting only briefly at camp 4 in the "death zone", dealing with temperatures down to -30 degrees and climbing in restrictive oxygen masks and down suits.
This challenge was selected, as it represents the extreme sacrifices and hardships members of the Nation's Armed Forces are prepared to endure to maintain the integrity and effectiveness of the UAE's defenses.
