Additional Info | : | Viktor ("Viki") Groselj is one of the most successful Slovenian alpinists who has to date climbed ten summits higher than 8,000 metres (of which 4 in one year): Mount Everest, K2, Kanchenjunga, Makalu, Lhotse, Broad Peak, Gasherbrum, Cho Oyu, Shisha Pangma and Manaslu.
Groselj has now retired from this sort of climbing and in the future plans only to organize and lead Slovenian expeditions, following in the footsteps of Tone Skaja and the late Alex Kunaver
The Slovenian climbers as a group have reached all 8000-ers, see http://www.pzs.si/ka-8000.htm for an article by Viktor
He is now a primary school sports teacher.
A great account of his Vinson climbs and ski descent can be found in the 7summits book:
