David Liano completes the Seven Summits

Having the fortunate of being born in a country with magnificent snow covered volcanoes, David Liaño began climbing in Mexico when he was 13 years old. Almost ten years later, and after several expeditions to South America, he set himself the goal of climbing the seven summits. He has also climbed Cho-Oyu, the sixth highest mountain in the world and has done several ascents in the Alps and Bolivia’s Cordillera Real.

David is a member of Club Alpino Mexicano, one of Mexico’s most important mountaineering associations.
