Simone Moro
Simone Moro is an esteemed Italian mountaineer known for his remarkable achievements in high-altitude climbing, having summited 8 of the 14 eight-thousanders and being the first to ascend four of them in winter. At 57, he is a prominent figure in the international climbing community, advocating for the preservation of traditional mountaineering in the face of commercial expeditions. His recent media attention stems from his criticism of the commercialization of climbing, where inexperienced tourists pay exorbitant fees to summit peaks, often relying heavily on local guides and support, which he believes undermines the spirit of adventure.
