Fritz Kasparek was an Austrian mountaineer who lived from 3 July 1910 to 6 June 1954. On 24 July 1938, with Anderl Heckmair, Ludwig Vörg and Heinrich Harrer, he made the first ascent of the north face of the Eiger, a climb previously deemed impossible. In February 1938 he and Sepp Brunnhuber had made the first winter ascent of the north face of the Cima Grande of the Tre Cime di Lavaredo. He was an early member of the Sturmabteilung and later held SS rank, was imprisoned by the Allies after the war, and died in a fall near the peak of Salcantay in Peru.
