(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, Thomas Hornbein was an American mountaineer who made the first ascent of Everest via the west ridge; the Hornbein Couloir on Everest was named in his honour. Biography Born in St. Louis, Missouri, Hornbein developed an interest in geology as a teenager. His study of geology led to a fascination with mountains. Eventually, he also became interested in medicine; he received his MD in 1956 from Washington University School of Medicine and worked as an anesthesiologist. He also studied human physiological limits and performance at high altitudes. He was Professor and Chairman of the Department of Anesthesiology at the University of Washington School of Medicine in Seattle, Washington from 1978 to 1993. His life was a link between medicine and mountaineering.
