If you think the name’s familiar it’s because he’s very famous for being the first to climb all 14 8000ers, to climb Everest without oxygen, the only one to ever climb Everest solo and made first climbs of dozen of new routes, many never repeated.

TIL that he‘s Italian. Thought he might be Austrian or German, as he‘s also very famous here.
