Hyderabad Doctor Successfully Scales Mt. Denali

Indian mountaineer and orthopedic surgeon Dr. Rajashekhar has successfully summited Mt. Denali, North America’s highest peak, completing the prestigious Seven Summits challenge—climbing the highest mountain on each continent. 

With this achievement, he becomes the first doctor from the South Indian states to accomplish the feat. For Dr. Rajashekhar, the journey to the Seven Summits has been shaped as much by personal adversity as by high-altitude



achievement. 

Throughout this journey, he received invaluable support and guidance from Bharath Thamineni, founder of Boots and Crampon, whose encouragement played an important role in helping him pursue this ambitious goal.

A specialist in hip and knee surgery and a robotic surgeon, he spent years working alongside leading orthopedic surgeons in Hyderabad while also training younger surgeons entering the field.
