About Carlos Carsolio
Carlos Carsolio Larrea is a Mexican mountain climber. Carsolio is known for being the fourth man and the second youngest to climb the world's 14 eight-thousanders, all of them without supplemental oxygen. At age 22, Carsolio got his first big achievement when he climbed Reinhold Messner's tough south face route of Aconcagua, the highest peak in South America at 6,962 meters (22,841 feet). In 1991 Carsolio and Delgado climbed on Baffin Island, Canada where they accomplished the first Mexican summit. Carsolio climbed his first eight-thousander with Jerzy Kukuczka; considered by some the best high-altitude climber in the world.
