They are all located in the Himalayan and Karakoram mountain ranges in Asia. The first attempt on an eight-thousander took place on the expedition by Albert F. Mummery, and J. Norman Collie to Nanga Parbat in 1895; this ended in failure, when Mummery and two Ghurkas, Ragobir and Goman Singh, were killed by an avalanche. The first successful ascent of an eight-thousander was by Maurice Herzog and Louis Lachenal, who reached the summit of Annapurna on June 3, 1950. The first person to climb all fourteen eight-thousanders was Reinhold Messner (index.php?option=com_content task=view id=28 Itemid=). He completed this task on October 16, 1986 (test). A year later, in 1987, Jerzy Kukuczka (index.php?option=com_content task=view id=15 Itemid=) became the second climber to accomplish this feat. As of 2007, a total of fourteen people have followed through. This is an extremely hazardous feat; at least four people have died while in pursuit of this goal.
