Kim Chang-ho

South Korea

The first Korean to complete all 14 of the 8,000 m peaks without bottled oxygen — the fastest record at the time (7 years 10 months 6 days); died on Gurja Himal in 2018.

Kim Chang-ho (15 September 1969 – 11 October 2018) was a South Korean mountaineer who became the first Korean to summit all 14 eight-thousanders without supplemental oxygen, with the fastest time at that point — 7 years, 10 months and 6 days (later broken by Nirmal Purja in 2019). A committed alpine-style climber, he won the Piolet d'Or Asia in 2012 for the first ascent of Himjung (7,092 m) and a Piolet d'Or Honourable Mention in 2017 for the south face of Gangapurna. He died in October 2018 when a serac-driven windstorm destroyed his expedition base camp beneath Gurja Himal, Nepal.
