Kim Chang-ho

South Korea

Orang Korea pertama yang menuntaskan seluruh 14 puncak 8.000 m tanpa oksigen botol — rekor tercepat saat itu (7 tahun 10 bulan 6 hari); gugur di Gurja Himal pada 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.
