	Dhaulagiri - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dhaulagiri is the seventh highest mountain in the world and is located in the Annapurna mountain range of the Himalaya of north central Nepal.
		After its discovery in 1808 by the western world, Dhaulagiri became known as the highest mountain in the world.
		Dhaulagiri was first climbed on May 13, 1960 by Kurt Diemberger, Peter Diener, Ernst Forrer, Albin Schelbert, Nyima Dorji and Nawang Dorji of a Swiss/Austrian expedition.

	Risk Online: Dhaulagiri (8167 m), 1996
		Offended by such an indifference, Dhaulagiri aborted for a full decade all attempts to devirginate her, and it was the eighth expedition that succeeded at last.
		However, Dhaulagiri looked unassailable to the French, and Herzog took the group away 30 kilometres eastward, to Annapurna, which was to become the first mountain over 8000m high conquered by man (on the figure Annapurna's group is seen from the west, from the altitude of 6600m on the Dhaulagiri slope, sunset).
		Dhaulagiri could have fallen as early as 1954 when an Argentine team, only 170 m away from the summit, had to pull out because of extremely raging weather.
