Biography

Dimitry Alexandrovich Sobolev (Дмитрий Александрович Соболев), born December 11, 1961 in Fergana, Uzbekistan and died December 25, 1997 in Annapurna, Nepal, was a Soviet and Kazakh mountaineer and cameraman. As a child, he moved to live in Almaty in Kazakhstan and from the age of 16 took up mountaineering. He worked as a guide in the Tien Shan and the Pamirs. He climbed almost all the seven thousand of the USSR and various peaks of the Himalayas: Manaslu (1995), Everest (1997). He has also worked as a high altitude cameraman on various climbing expeditions. He died in an avalanche while climbing Annapurna with his friend Anatoly Bukreev. Italian mountaineer Simone Moro, who miraculously survived, took part in the same expedition. The material filmed by Sobolev during this expedition was used by director Vladimir Tyulkin in the film about Anatoly Bukreev "The Unconquered Peak" (2002).
