Anatoli Boukreev was a Russian
Anatoli Boukreev was a Russian / Kazakhstani mountaineer, who climb̶ed some of the highest peaks on earth in his lifetime. He was one of the toughest mountaineers of all time with an extraordinary stamina as compared to his contemporaries.
He made some of the most incredible ascents in the history of mountaineering. His expeditions were life-threatening because of avalanches, blizzards and many other mountaineering obstacles, but his love for mountains was much greater than any hindrance that came up his way.
He successfully climb̶ed 11 of the 14 eight-thousand meter peaks without the aid of bottled oxygen. His daring efforts to save fellow climbers in the blizzard of 1996 on Everest is considered one of the greatest displays of courage and determination in the history of mountaineering rescues.
But his spirited life came to an end when he was killed in an avalanche on the south face of Annapurna in December 1997. His body was never found which could be understood as his final act of devotion towards his cathedral, the mountains. He regarded the mountains as his place of worship and he became immortal through his passion for mountaineering which ultimately took his life.
