Ferran Latorre Torres (born 18 October 1970) is a Spanish mountaineer and adventurer.
At the age of fourteen, he began training as a member of the Hiking Club of Catalonia, where he learned mountaineering and climbing. His fascination for climbing led him to the Pyrenees, the Alps, and the Himalayas.[1] At the age of 21, he climbed Shishapangma.[2]
Since 1998, Latorre has participated in the Spanish television program Al filo de lo impossible[1] which documented his climbs in places such as Kyrgyzstan, Greenland, South George, Antarctica and the Himalayas. In 2017, he became the sixth Spanish mountaineer (and first Catalan)[3] to ascend the 14 Eight-thousanders after climbing Mount Everest.[4]
