Changemaker Speaker Series Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner: Defying Limits: Climbing the 14 Highest Peaks
Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner has climbed all fourteen main peaks in the eight thousand series as well as two fore summits higher than eight thousand meters. By reaching the summit of K2 (8,611m), the second highest—and considered by many to be the most dangerous—peak in the world, she became the first woman to scale all 8,000m peaks without the use of supplementary oxygen or the help of high-altitude porters.
