BAYFIELD, Wis. — A retired schoolteacher with multiple sclerosis has now climbed the tallest mountains on each of the seven continents.

The 52-year-old from northwestern Wisconsin climbed six of the other peaks — including Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount McKinley — after being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1999.
