This man, Ed Viesturs, embodies in my mind, what it is to be a mountaineer/climber. He's a phenomenal human being to do what he's done; first american to summit all 14 of the world's mountains higher than 8,000 meters (26,240 feet) — and he did it all without using bottled oxygen.
I may be wrong, but I think he's the only one ever to have done all of them without oxygen.

As a mountain lover, climber and adventure seeker, Ed Viesturs is someone I definitely look up to.
