vladyslav terzyul -lrb- ; 18 june 1953 in artyom , primorsky krai , soviet union -- 17 may 2004 -rrb- , was an ukrainian alpinist , one of the world 's premier high-altitude climbers .
he is said to be one of the few people to have climbed all eight-thousander peaks and the first ukrainian ever .
however this claim is disputed because he did not reach the highest point on shishapangma -lrb- 8027m -rrb- , but instead stopped at shishapangma central -lrb- 8013m -rrb- .
vladislav terzyul died descending from the summit of makalu on may 17 , 2004 , at an altitude of about 8300 metres .
