Hans Kammerlander

Hans Kammerlander is an Italian mountaineer, living in Ahornach, a hamlet nearby Sand in Taufers. He has climbed 11 of the 14 8000m peaks. In 1984, together with Reinhold Messner he was the first climber to traverse two 8000 m peaks before descending to base camp. On January 6, 2012, he falsely announced that he was the first person on the Second Seven Summits. No less than three of his "second" seven summits achievements turned out to be false. The false summit claims were revealed on Mount Logan, further on Mount Puncak Trikora, and on Mount Dyck Tau.
