He has summited Everest four times, in 2000, 2002, 2006, and 2010.
Moro is also an experienced helicopter pilot.<ref name="aWNuw" /> In 2013, he and two other rescue experts carried out the world's highest long-line rescue operation on a helicopter, on Lhotse, at 7800m.<ref name="Pseka" /><ref name="planetrescue" /> On 12 November 2015 he set a new flight altitude world record in an ES 101 Raven turboshaft-powered helicopter (6705m).<ref name="uAMGv" /> In 2023, Simone Moro conducted a daring rescue operation on the south side of Mount Everest, flying and landing at Camp III (7,350m) to save an Indian climber. Additionally, Moro made several flights to Camp II for rescue purposes. That season saw multiple casualties and rescue missions on Everest's south side, largely due to severe weather conditions.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://explorersweb.com/everest-rescuers-hurry-suhajda-szilard/ | title=Everest: Rescuers Hurry Toward Suhajda Szilard » Explorersweb | date=26 May 2023 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=https://mountainfilm.nz/simone-moro-one-of-the-worlds-greatest-mountaineers-to-visit-wanaka-and-queenstown/ | title=Simone Moro – One of the world's greatest mountaineers to visit Wanaka and Queenstown! • NZ Mountain Film & Book Festival | date=8 April 2024 }}</ref>
== Early life == Born in Bergamo, in northern Italy, to middle-class parents, Moro grew up in the borough of Valtesse and was actively encouraged by his father in his passion for the mountains. His father was a cyclist and also fostered a lively and international environment around him. He started climbing on the Presolana and other massifs of the Bergamasque Alps at the age of 13. In 2003, at 35, he completed his university studies and graduated ''cum laude''.
== Climbing career == Moro began his climbing activity on the Grigne near his home city. His father was his first mentor, and later Alberto Cosonni and Bruno Tassi. At that time he was primarily involved in rock climbing, an activity he has never given up. In 1992 he participated in his first Himalayan expedition, to Mount Everest. One year later Moro climbed Aconcagua in winter.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://simonemoro.com/expeditions/ | title=Simone Moro | Alpinist, heli pilot, speaker, author }}</ref> He made expeditions to other mountains in the 1990s, including Cerro Mirador in winter<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.mountain.ru/eng/climb/2003/Moro/index.shtml | title=Simone Moro / Climb / Mountain.RU }}</ref> and Makalu in 1993; Shishapangma and Lhotse in 1994, Kangchenjunga in 1995. In 1996 Moro climbed the west wall of Fitz Roy ({{cvt|3341|m}} in Patagonia) in 25 hours from the base to the summit and back to the base. In the same year, he climbed Shishapangma South ({{cvt|8008|m|disp=sqbr}}) without oxygen in 27 hours using skis in the descent from {{cvt|7100|m}}. In 1997 he summited Lhotse. In Winter of 1997 he attempted the South face of Annapurna. During this attempt, his climbing companions Anatoli Boukreev and Dimitri Sobolev died in an avalanche. He tried Everest again in 1998; summited four peaks Pik Lenin ({{cvt|7134|m}}), Peak Korzhenevskaya ({{cvt|7105|m|disp=sqbr}}), Ismoil Somoni Peak ({{cvt|7495|m}}, formerly known as Pik Kommunizma), Pik Khan Tengri ({{cvt|7010|m|disp=sqbr}}) with young Kazakhstan guide Denis Urubko; then summited Everest with him in 2000<ref name="pm33024" /> and Marble Wall in winter 2001.
In 2002 he summited three peaks: Mount Vinson, Cho Oyu<ref name="pm33890" /> and Everest;<ref name="pm33907" /> summited three peaks: Broad Peak,<ref name="pm34328" /> Elbrus and Kilimanjaro in 2003, summited Baruntse along a new route and tried Shishapangma and Annapurna in 2004; Batura and Batokshi peaks in 2005, Broad Peak in winter 2006 and 2007.

In 2008 he made (with Hervè Barmasse) the first ascent of Beka Brakai Chhok ({{cvt|6950|m}} Karakorum). The climbing was in pure alpine style and in 43 hours.<ref name="dpi5I" />
In January 2009 Moro made the first winter ascent of Makalu with Denis Urubko,<ref name="pm36583" /> and in February 2011 the first winter ascent of Gasherbrum II with Denis Urubko and Cory Richards.<ref name="pm37883" /> In April 2013, Moro, while climbing with Ueli Steck who was preparing for a traverse next spring of Everest and Lhotse, got into an altercation with disgruntled sherpas that according to ''The Guardian'': "... went viral and Steck, wholly blameless in the affair, became severely depressed and disheartened".<ref name=GUAR>{{cite web | newspaper=The Guardian | url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/may/01/ueli-steck-obituary | first=Ed | last=Douglas | date=17 May 2017 | accessdate=4 January 2023 | title=Ueli Steck obituary}}</ref> In February 2016, Moro completed the first winter ascent of Nanga Parbat with Alex Txikon and Ali Sadpara.<ref name="planetnanga" /> In February 2018, he completed the first winter ascent of Peak Pobeda, Sakha along with fellow Italian mountaineer Tamara Lunger.<ref name="9hSwl" />

{{blockquote|On the way down we met Simone who had unfortunately failed to get to the summit because of the energy he had used rescuing me. I felt and still feel very guilty, but Simone who is a very humble man shrugged his shoulders and said, "It is no problem. In the future, I can still climb and you can still climb and that's more important than any summit." His sentiment is a lesson to us all, I believe it’s a perfect example of the true climbing spirit. I will never be able to thank him enough for what he did for me, he is an amazing man and a real hero.|Tom Moores, 2001<ref name="mm3pK" />|title=|source=}}

==Charitable work== In 2003, Moro projected and financed a school for 396 Sherpa children in the Nepalese village of Syadul. The objective of the project, carried with an Italian foundation, was to prevent early school-leaving in the area.<ref name="YPJxr" /><ref name="Socvf" /> The school was opened in 2005. It is located in a village a thousand meters above sea level and three hours from the nearest road.<ref name="gyViv" />
Near the Nanga Parbat base camp, he financed, built, and donated to the Pakistani district of Gilgit Baltistan a small masonry building for local shepherds and a small hospital in the village of Ser.<ref name="5cwGO" />
