Biography
At the age of 59, Hugues D’Aubarede is preparing to meet one of his
greatest challenges, the ascent of K2.
For me, the mountains are a source of peace and spiritual
serenity Hugues d’Aubarede
For Hugues, more than a simple leisure activity, mountaineering
is a real passion that dates back to his
childhood and his holidays in the mountains. Skiing, snowscape
trekking with sealskins and his need for solitude have driven
him, for more than a decade, to climb the most spectacular
mountains in the world.
No longer terra incognita for Hugues: :
1991 : Mont Blanc (4808m) / France :
Starting point to his challenge. Climb 12 times
1992: Kilimanjaro (5,895 m) / Tanzania
1993: Mont Blanc (4 808 m) / France
1995: Chimborazo (6,300m) / Ecuador
1997: Ojos del Salado (6,895 m) / Chile
1999: Gasherbrum (8,035 m) / Pakistan
2001: Mustaghata on skis (7,546 m) /
China
2004: Everest (8,848 m) / Nepal
2005: Nanga Parbat (8,135 m) / Pakistan
K2 is his challenge’s result.
Bolstered by his mountaineering experience and his physical
predisposition for high altitude sport, Hugues now wants
to abandon the lofty peaks and the cold to explore a world
that is new to him, the sun and heat of the deserts.
