Ludwik Chałubiński

Ludwik Chałubiński (2 August 1860 in Warsaw – 17 April 1933 in Zakopane) was a Polish Alpinist, chemician and engineer.

Son of Tytus Chałubiński, Ludwik started climbing the Tatras already at the age of 14, initially with his father and then with his friends. In 1877 together with guides Wojciech Roj and Maciej Sieczka he made the first ascent of the Mięguszowiecki Szczyt Wielki. He was also the first to reach the summit of Młynarz (1885), the second to reach Baranie Rogi (1884) and the third on top of the Durny Szczyt (1881). He also climed the Alps, where he was the first Pole to climb the Großglockner and Aletschhorn.
