Christian Stangl (German: [ˈkʀɪsti̯an ˈʃtaŋl]; born July 10, 1966, in Landl, Austria)[1] is an Austrian alpine style mountaineer and mountain guide. He has become known as Skyrunner by numerous exceptionally fast ascents of high mountains. His major success was in 2013, when he became the first person to ascend the three highest mountains on all seven continents, the so-called Triple Seven Summits.[2]
On January 15, 2013, he was the first person to ascent the Seven Second Summits, the second highest peaks of all seven continents.[3] On August 23, 2013, after climbing Shkhara (5193m), he became the first person to have reached the third highest peaks on all seven continents. Because of measurement and definition issues Stangl climbed 30 peaks instead of only 21 to avoid any inaccuracy and misconception. On September 17, 2013, his achievement was certified by Guinness World Records in London.[4][5][6]
