Bulgaria’s great mountaineer Boyan Petrov was born in Sofia on this day in 1973 and today he would have celebrated his fiftieth birthday. He became the first insulin-dependent mountaineer in the world to climb 10 eight-thousanders without oxygen.
In the spring of 2018, on his way to Shisha Pangma, Boyan Petrov remained forever in the embrace of the mountain.
