Rock climbing is an arduous and risky sport in most people's eyes but it's a passion for Chung Kin-man - mountains are his motivation.
Before Chung achieved the feat, only five people had climbed the highest mountains on each of the world's seven continents, and reached both the North and South Poles, and none were Chinese.
The accomplished mountaineer has spent more than 30 years scaling Alpine peaks and has faced death on more than one occasion.
Chung nearly fell into a crevasse on his trek to the North Pole and narrowly avoided another in a glacier on Mount Everest.
Then he almost lost his left ear due to frostbite on Mont Blanc in the Alps.
On a different venture, a set of oxygen tanks rolled off a cliff and hit his head, and he luckily escaped an avalanche on another trek.
