Biographie

Dr. Geoffrey Craig “Geoff” Tabin is an American ophthalmologist, humanitarian and accomplished mountaineer. He graduated from Yale University, studied philosophy at Oxford University as a Marshall Scholar, and earned his medical degree from Harvard Medical School. His mountaineering career included a successful summit of Mount Everest on 2 October 1988 and completion of the Seven Summits, making him the fourth person to reach the highest peak on every continent. Experiences in Nepal helped redirect his career toward restoring sight in underserved communities. Tabin later co-founded the Himalayan Cataract Project, now Cure Blindness Project, and became a professor of ophthalmology and global medicine at Stanford University.

2 October 1988

On 2 October 1988, American physician and mountaineer Geoffrey Craig “Geoff” Tabin reached the summit of Mount Everest via the South Col route. The American Alpine Journal records Tabin in the October 2 summit party, providing confirmation from professional mountaineering literature of both the successful ascent and its date. Independent Jewish press later described him as the first Jew to reach Everest’s summit and as the 209th person to do so. Tabin had previously attempted Everest in 1983. He later became the fourth person to complete the Seven Summits and built an internationally recognized medical career devoted to eliminating avoidable blindness.
