Arjan raised the
Jordanian flag at 5.200m feet, with the slogan “From the land of history to the
highest geology”, as a symbol of his journey from Jordan, which is home to
ancient civilizations, and features the lowest point on earth, the Dead Sea.
The journey
required Arjan to undergo special training for several months on adapting to
varying climates, low temperatures nearing – 20oC, and high altitudes – during the trek, he gained
9,094m of altitude.
The training also
prepared his body to adapt to different levels of oxygen and varying pressures,
which are considered the greatest challenges of such hikes.
Because art is
very important to Arjan, he printed artistic designs to promote the Kingdom on
his clothes and pack.
While
at the summit, he also raised the logo of the Jordan Trail and the
Jordan Tourism Board as an invitation to visit Jordan, as well as his family name, in
appreciation of all who supported him.
