Mountaineer Atanas Skatov has successfully climbed Dhaulagiri Peak in the Himalayas. The peak is 8127 meters high and is the tenth eight-thousander conquered by Skatov. Earlier this year he climbed three more of the highest peaks on the planet - Kanchenzonga - 8586 m, Gasherbrum I - 8080 m and Gasherbrum II - 8035 m.
