Carlos Carsolio Biography

Carlos Carsolio is one of the most popular and richest Explorer who was born on October 4, 1962 in Mexico City, Mexico. Carlos Carsolio Larrea, a Mexican mountain climber, was born in Mexico City on 4 October 1962. Carsolio is the fourth (first non-European man) and second youngest climber of the 14 8-thousander mountain peaks. He did so without any supplemental oxygen, but he needed it on his descent from Makalu.

His solo ascension to Makalu, 12 October 1988, was the third eight-thousander of Carsolio’s professional career. During the descent, he needed rescue and emergency oxygen.

At age 22, Carsolio got his first big achievement when he climbed Reinhold Messner’s tough south face route of Aconcagua, the highest peak in the Americas at 6,962 meters (22,841 ft). He traveled to Patagonia in 1990 with his friend Andrés Delgado to make the first Mexican ascent of Cerro Torre, considered by experts as the world’s most difficult mountain for its great granite wall of at least 800 meters (2,625 ft), no matter what path climbers seek to attack. In 1991 Carsolio and Delgado climbed on Baffin Island, Canada where they accomplished the first Mexican summit.

On 12 May 1992 Carsolio made the summit of Kangchenjunga climbing solo. Wanda Rutkiewicz began the ascent with Carlos at 3:30 am on 12 May from camp IV, located at 7,950 meters (26,083 ft). After a dozen hours of climbing under heavy snowfall, Carsolio reached the top, becoming the only climber to do so that year. On his descent, between 8,200 and 8,300 meters (26,900 – 27,230 ft), Carsolio encountered Rutkiewicz. Although she had no food, she decided to bivouac and attempt the summit the next day. Carsolio was exhausted and could not convince her to descend with him, and she was never seen again.

Carsolio climbed Shisha Pangma along with Elsa Avila and Ramiro Navarrete. Ryszard Warecki, Wanda Rutkiewicz were also there. Avila and Carsolio were the first Mexicans on the summit, while Navarrete was the first Ecuadorian eight- thousander to do so on the 18th of July 1987.

Carsolio was accompanied by Jerzy Kukuczka, a high-altitude climber who is widely regarded as the best in the world. On 13 July 1985, they climbed Nanga Parbat with a Polish expedition led by Pawel Molarz.

On 13 October 1989 Carsolio headed a Mexican expedition to make summit on Mount Everest by the southeast route without the aid of bottled oxygen. This was a pending account with the mountain, months before with Elsa Ávila; they had to abort the mission because his partner got severe pulmonary edema only 92 meters (302 ft), from the summit. They were forced to retreat. Elsa would summit Everest 10 years later. However, on 16 May, his countryman, Ricardo Torres-Nava, reached the mountaintop to become the first Mexican and Latin American to do so, with supplementary oxygen on an American expedition. 1989 was a particularly hard year on Everest. Sherpas saw it as a “dark year” because of 24 people who reached the summit, 8 died during the descent.

On 12 May 1996, Carlos and his younger brother, Alfredo, made the summit of Manaslu in Alpine style. For Carlos was his long-awaited fourteenth and final eight-thousander. Manaslu is characterized by bad weather. The ascent of Manaslu by the Carsolios had a serious setback at 200 meters (656 ft), from the summit; the climbers found that a strong storm was approaching from the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri. They calculated that the storm would arrive in a couple of hours, just when they were touching the mountaintop. The international media pressure was enormous, and Carlos never made an expedition so well prepared, equipped and funded. But to survive they made the right decision, to turn back. Fortunately the storm was not as high, at around 7,300 meters (23,950 ft). Although the brothers had to dig an ice cave for shelter.
