Defying Limits: Climbing the 14 Highest Peaks, Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner, Climber

At 23, Austrian mountaineer Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner achieved her greatest dream: climbing an 8,000-meter peak. Fast forward to today, Gerlinde has climbed all 14 of the seminal 8,000+ meter peaks without supplemental oxygen and without the help of high-altitude porters, the first woman to do so. She completed the quest on her 7th attempt up what many consider to be the most daunting climb in the world, the world’s second highest peak, K2, known worldwide as the “Savage Mountain,” in the remote Karakoram Range of Pakistan and China. On stage, she shares her inspiration for climbing and gripping stories of her multi-year quest to become the first.
The Kauffman Center has curated this speaker specifically from the Changemaker Speaker Series.
