Karl Blodig
Karl Blodig (born 16 October 1859 in Vienna; died 7 September 1956 in Bregenz) was an Austrian mountaineer, optician and journalist.
Blodig ranked among the most outstanding mountain climber personalities of his time. Around 1900 Blodig was the first to have climbed all Alpine peaks over 4000 metres. He reported on these climbs in his book "Die Viertausender der Alpen (the 4000 metre Alpine peaks)", first published in 1923, which ranked among the alpine classics.
