South Korean climber Kim Hong-bin, who lost all of his fingers to frostbite nearly 30 years ago, has managed to reach the summit of 13 of the 14 mountains in the world that are higher than 8-thousand meters.
Kim reached the top of the world's 11th highest mountain, Gasherbrum I.
He plans to climb the final mountain by next year, to become the world's first handicapped climber to conquer all 14 summits.
