Juan Eusebio Oiarzabal Urteaga (born 1956), known as Juanito Oiarzabal, is a noted Spanish Basque mountaineer who has written four books on the subject. He was the sixth man to reach all 14 eight-thousander summits and the third to do so without supplemental oxygen. He was the first person to climb the top three summits twice, Everest, K2 and Kangchenjunga, and the oldest climber to summit Kangchenjunga, at almost 53, until Carlos Fontan did so at 75 in 2014. In 2004 he lost all his toes to frostbite after summiting K2.
