Ferran Latorre became the 19th climber in the world to climb peaks higher than 8,000m. He first scaled a 8000m summit in 1999 but it was in 2012 that he decided to climb all the 14 peaks above 8,000m. The last ascent of the Spanish mountaineer was Mount Everest (8848 m). The first person to climb all 14 eight-thousanders was the Italian Reinhold Messner.
