Dianette Wells

Dianette Wells is an elite member of the fewer than four hundred individuals who have climbed each of the Seven Summits, including: Kilimanjaro, Vinson, Elbrus, Denali, Everest, Aconcagua, and Carstensz Pyramid.

Wells has participated in four Eco-Challenges, raced one hundred fifty plus miles across various desserts, biked across America and adventure raced around the globe. She is the proud mother of three and continues to climb and race and just finished her 20th home remodel.

While some confront their acrophobia by challenging themselves to an innocuous ride on a Ferris wheel, Wells challenged herself with a climb up Mount Kilimanjaro (19,339 feet), the highest peak in Africa, which she climbed for the first time in 1999. In 2003, Wells visited Russia and reached the pinnacle of Mount Elbrus (18,481 feet), the highest peak in Europe. Next, she conquered Mount Vinson in 2004, the highest peak in Antarctica, measuring 16,067 feet.

After that, Wells reached the apex of Mount McKinley (20,320 feet) in Denali, Alaska, the highest peak in North America. Her insatiable appetite for climbing led her to summit the Carstensz Pyramid (16,023 feet) in Papa New Guinea, the highest peak of Oceania. Earlier this year, Wells reached the zenith of Mount Aconcagua (22,280 feet) in Argentina, the highest peak of South America, before finally culminating her pursuit of the Seven Summits with the surmounting of Mount Everest (29,029 feet), on May 23, in the Himalaya mountain range along the border of Nepal and Tibet.
