Alan Hinkes

Alan Hinkes (April 26, 1954- ) is a British mountaineer from Northallerton in North Yorkshire. He is currently attempting to climb all mountains with elevations greater than 8000 metres. There are 14 such mountains and Hinkes has climbed 13, with only Kangchenjunga not yet ascended. If he succeeds in his "Challenge 8000" quest, he will be the first British mountaineer to have summited all of the "eight-thousanders".

In March of 2005, Hinkes left for his third attempt at climbing Kangchenjunga.
