Albert Frederick Mummery (1855 to 1895) was an English mountaineer and author, born in Dover, Kent, and most notable for his many and varied first ascents in the Alps. Together with J. Norman Collie, Geoffrey Hastings and two Gurkhas, he was among the first men in recorded history to attempt to summit one of the Himalayan eight-thousanders. Their innovative, light-weight attempt on Nanga Parbat in 1895 proved ill-fated: Mummery and both Gurkhas died in an avalanche while reconnoitring the mountain's Rakhiot Face.
