Question: Edward FitzGerald made the first ascent on the highest mountain in South America, which stands at how many meters?

Context paragraphs:
Store Rauddalseggi: Store Rauddalseggi is a mountain in the municipality of Luster in Sogn og Fjordane, Norway.  It is 2168 m high and is the 70th highest mountain in Norway.  Store Rauddalseggi is the highest mountain in the Rauddalseggi area.  The first ascent of Store Rauddalseggi was on 17 August 1906 by Ferdinand Schjelderup and Agnes Jakhelln.

Sunanda Devi: Sunanda Devi (Hindi: सुनन्दा देवी ) previously known as Nanda Devi East is the lower of the two adjacent peaks of the highest mountain in Uttarakhand and second highest mountain in India; Nanda Devi is its higher twin peak.  Nanda Devi and Sunanda Devi are part of the Garhwal Himalayas, and are located in the state of Uttarakhand.  The graceful peaks of twin mountains are visible from almost everywhere in Kumaon.  The first ascent to the Sunanda Devi peak in recorded history appears to be in 1939 by Jakub Bujak and Janusz Klarner.  The elevation of Sunanda Devi is 7434 m and its prominence is 260 m .

Edward FitzGerald (mountaineer): Edward Arthur FitzGerald (10 May 1871 – 2 January 1931) was an American born mountaineer and soldier of British descent, best known for leading the expedition which made the first ascent of Aconcagua, the highest mountain in South America, in 1897.

Aconcagua: Aconcagua (] ) is the highest mountain outside Asia, at 6961 m , and by extension the highest point in both the Western Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere.  It is located in the Andes mountain range, in the Mendoza Province, Argentina, and lies 112 kilometres (70 mi) northwest of its capital, the city of Mendoza.  The summit is also located about five kilometres from San Juan Province and 15 kilometres from the international border with Chile.  The mountain itself lies entirely within Argentina and immediately east of Argentina's border with Chile.  Its nearest higher neighbor is Tirich Mir in the Hindu Kush, 16520 km away.  It is one of the Seven Summits.

Walter Bonatti: Walter Bonatti (] ; 22 June 1930 in Bergamo – 13 September 2011 in Rome) was an Italian mountain climber, explorer and journalist.  He was noted for his many climbing achievements, including a solo climb of a new route on the south-west pillar of the Aiguille du Dru in August 1955, the first ascent of Gasherbrum IV in 1958 and in 1965 the first solo climb in winter of the North face of the Matterhorn on the mountain's centenary year of its first ascent.  Immediately after his extraordinary solo climb on the Matterhorn Bonatti announced his retirement from professional climbing at the age of 35 and after 17 years of climbing activity.  He authored many mountaineering books and spent the remainder of his career travelling off the beaten track as a reporter for the Italian magazine "Epoca".

Strahlkogel: The Strahlkogel, at  m (AA) , is the highest peak in the Larstiger Mountains ("Larstiger Berge"), a subgroup of the Stubai Alps in the Austrian state of Tyrol.  The Strahlkogel is also the highest mountain in the municipality of Umhausen.  Its name comes from its great, white, light-reflecting, quartz layers, which allegedly cause the mountain to "radiate" ("strahlen").  It has the shape of a well-proportioned, steep and pointed pyramid.  Ascending the Strahlkogel is difficult and it is thus only rarely visited, unlike the neighbouring 3,287-metre-high Breiter Grieskogel.  The first ascent of the mountain was in 1833 by Peter Carl Thurwieser, but his route and the precise circumstances of the climb have not been passed on.  On 28 August 1887 Ludwig Purtscheller and Fritz Drasch from Salzburg climbed the mountain.  Their route led along the west arête.  Today, this is the normal route and easiest way to reach the summit.

Carl Wilhelm Rubenson: Carl Wilhelm Rubenson (30 July 1885 – 29 July 1960) was a Swedish-born Norwegian mountaineer and non-fiction writer.  In 1906 he made several first ascents in Jotunheimen, together with Ferdinand Schjelderup and Agnes Jachelln.  In 1907 he reached a record height of 7,270 m at the Himalayan mountain Kabru, together with Ingvald Monrad Aas, the highest altitude anybody had reached until then.  He co-founded the Norwegian mountaineering club Norsk Tindeklub in 1908, together with Alf Bryn, Ferdinand Schjelderup, Henning Tønsberg and others.  He made the first ascent of the Norwegian mountain Stetind in 1910, together with Alf Bonnevie Bryn and Ferdinand Schjelderup.  The three climbers reached the top of Stetind on 30 July 1910, on Rubenson's 25th birthday.  This was the first of a number of first ascents to follow the next two weeks in Northern Norway.  On 1 August Rubenson, Bryn and Schjelderup made the first ascent of Svolværgeita, on the Lofoten island of Austvågøy.  Their route is called "1910 Ruta ", or in English: "The 1910 Route" .  This route includes a famous diagonal traverse across the north wall of the mountain, which was led by Rubinson.  The group reached the top by 11 pm on 1 August.  On 3 August 1910 the same group climbed Trakta on Northern Austvågøy, a mountain considered among the hardest summits to reach in Norway.  Also this was a first ascent, where they climbed the main summit (Vestre Trakta) via the Northwest Ridge.  Rubenson was part of the group that first attempted a winter ascent of Store Skagastølstind, but this attempt failed because of harsh snow conditions and risk of avalanches.

Matthias Zurbriggen: Matthias Zurbriggen (15 May 1856 in Saas-Fee – 21 June 1917 in Geneva) was a Swiss mountaineer, one of the great 19th-century alpinists and mountain guides.  He climbed throughout the Alps, and also in South America, the Himalayas and New Zealand.  He made a considerable number of first ascents, the best known of which is Aconcagua, the highest peak in the Americas, which he climbed alone on 14 January 1897, during an expedition led by Edward FitzGerald.  During the same expedition Zurbriggen also made the first ascent of Tupungato with the Englishman Stuart Vines.

First ascent: In mountaineering, a first ascent (abbreviated to FA in guidebooks) is the first successful, documented attainment of the top of a mountain, or the first to follow a particular climbing route.  First mountain ascents are notable because they entail genuine exploration, with greater risks, challenges, and recognition than climbing a route pioneered by others.  The person who performs the first ascent is called the first ascensionist.

Tom Fyfe: Thomas Camperdown "Tom" Fyfe (June 23, 1870 in Timaru - 1947 in Hastings) was a self-taught New Zealand mountaineer from Timaru.  He led the first ascent of Aoraki/Mount Cook (the highest mountain in New Zealand) on 25 December 1894, which included Jack Clarke and George Graham.  Following the first Aoraki ascent Fyfe, who was introduced to climbing by Adamson, went on to become the first appointed Chief Guide at the Hermitage Hotel at Mt Cook village.
