PUTRAJAYA: The success of five Felda youths in reaching the peak of Mount Everest is further proof that there is no obstacle that cannot be overcome, said Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.

The Prime Minister, who feted the intrepid climbers to a luncheon at his office yesterday, pointed out that not many challenges could match what mother nature threw at those seeking to reach the summit of the world.

“I was made to understand the challenging situation. Among the issues was frostbite and this is a big risk with temperatures dipping below 30°C combined with the thin oxygen level.
