In 1991, he lost all of his fingers while climbing Mount Denali.

On 18 July 2021, he reached the Broad Peak summit (8,051m), becoming the first disabled person to climb all of the world's 14 peaks over 8,000 meters. However, he fell into a crevasse on the way down from the summit and was presumed dead.[2][1][3]
