Has any deaf person summited Mt. Everest yet?

Hello,

I am extremely interested in mountaineering and am wondering if any deaf person has summited Mt. Everest yet.

My plans are to summit Mt. Whitney (since I live in California), then Mt. Rainer, and Denali.

But it would be nice to accompany with other deaf mountaineer if there are any. Is there a deaf alpine club or something? I couldn't find anything about deaf mountaineers except one woman named Heidi Zimmer.

Thanks!
Vincent

About twenty years ago, Gally graduate planned to climb there but he had to drop it due to lack of money and support.
