Andrew Lock en route to becoming the first Australian to summit Annapurna 1, 8091 metres, his 12th 8000er, which he reached at 3.20pm on 24 may 2007.
Andrew is nearing completion of 'Summit 8000 - the Ultimate Mountaineering Challenge', his quest to climb all fourteen of the world's 8000 metre peaks. <Further details>
Andrew has just returned from the Himalaya where he climbed Mt Makalu, the world's 5th highest peak and the 13th summit in his project to climb all fourteen 8000 metre mountains. With just Shishapangma to go, he is one step from achieving Australian mountaineering history. <Further details>
“What (Andrew) has done is outstanding and should not only be seen as an Australian first but more importantly puts him in the running for the international top ten for reaching the toughest grand slam on the planet - the 14 x 8000ers!” — Peter Hillary, renowned adventurer and son of Sir Edmund Hillary, first man to summit Mount Everest.
