Updated List of Summiters on 8000m Peaks

MountEverest.net has updated their lists (via Adventurestats.com) of all the current climbers who have summited the 8000 meter peaks, which frankly hasn't changed much in the past year or so with Ed Viesturs still listed as the last man to do it. However, the article also lists a number of climbers who are close to completing these epic climbs, with ten or more under their belt.

Today they amended those lists to include two Kazakh climbers who are just 30 years old, and yet have already knocked off ten of the mountains. Impressive work for such young climbers.
