Atte Saku Juhani Miettinen (born November 19, 1975) is a Finnish business executive and mountaineer living in Dubai.[1]
Miettinen was the first Finn to scale the so-called Seven summits, climbing the last of the seven on June 22, 2012. He has climbed both the Bass and Messner lists, which only 100 mountaineers in the world had done at the time. Richard Bass and Reinhold Messner’s lists differ for the highest peaks in Oceania.
During his Seven Peaks project, Miettinen became only the second Finn to reach the summit of Vinson Massif in Antarctica. The first Finnish conqueror of the mountain was Veikka Gustafsson. Miettinen was the first Finn to climb Carstensz Pyramid in Indonesia.
Miettinen has also climbed five of the Volcanic Seven Summits.
