Denis Urubko

Born in the mountainous region of the North Caucaus, between the Black and Caspian seas, Denis has always been at home in the mountains. They have become his life-long inspiration and motivation. With worsening asthma Denis moved with his family to the kinder climate of South Sakhalin. He made his first sport climbs at high-school, joining an alpine club. At the age of 19 he emigrated to Kazakhstan and joined the Kazakhstan Army. He continued to climb throughout the troublesome period of the collapse of the USSR. Seeking refuge in the mountains he participated in many expeditions and competitions, not only winning, but also setting world records. Denis achieved international recognition as a world-class alpinist with his outstanding ascents of each of the fourteen 8000m summits of the world without oxygen. Denis graduated journalism at the Al Farbi University in Almaty. He is an author of 11 books and numerous publications.
