Zsolt Erőss was the most successful Hungarian high-altitude mountaineer, who lived from 7 March 1968 to 21 May 2013 and summited 10 of the 14 eight-thousanders. He was also the first Hungarian citizen to climb Mount Everest. In 2010 he lost his right leg below the knee in an avalanche accident, yet he returned to mountaineering soon after his recovery and summited Lhotse in May 2011. After scaling Kangchenjunga on 20 May 2013 he went missing on the descent, and the search missions were suspended two days later.
