Benoît Chamoux (February 19, 1961 – October 6, 1995) was a French Alpinist, who climbed 13 of the Eight-thousanders in the Himalayas. Chamoux was born in La Roche-sur-Foron near Mont Blanc in the department of Haute-Savoie, France. He disappeared near the summit of his 14th Himalayan peak, Kangchenjunga (8586m) on October 6, 1995 with photographer Pierre Royer and their Sherpa Riku. Three other ascents were to either their fore-summits or the plateau, and the main summit thus was disputed. The non-profit "Foundation Benoît Chamoux" was created in his memory under the auspices of the Foundation of France with the mission to educate Sherpa children who have lost their fathers in mountain expeditions. ==Principal achievements== *1982: Diamond couloir on Mount Kenya *1983: Huascaran South in Peru 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Benoît Chamoux」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
