7summits Finishers: Bass list

All finishersBass list (Kosciuszko)Messner list (Carstensz Pyramid)8 Summits (both)

Everyone known to have climbed the 7 summits, with the date of every summit and a page for each climber. There are two versions of the 7, and many climbers have finished both, so there are 4 lists:

  • All finishers: either Kosciuszko or Carstensz Pyramid.
  • The Bass list: with Kosciuszko in Australia.
  • The Messner list: with Carstensz Pyramid in Indonesia.
  • 8 summits: climbers on both lists.
