40 mountaineers from Taiwan, China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan, Korea and Malaysia, will climb the tallest (12,966 feet) peak in Southeast Asia – Mt. Yushan. They are being led by David Chang.

Chang and his fellow climbers are blind, but that isn’t stopping them from scaling Southeast Asia’s highest mountain.

Through this adventure, Chang hopes to put Taiwan on the map by showcasing his determination in ascending Yushan by foot.

"I have the utmost confidence that the Taiwan team will lead the pack," Chang said, before the event. All the climbers have been through arduous training, as part of their preparation for the event. That included jogging, practice trekking etc.
