I would say Kevin Thaw fits the term.
8000 M peaks - Check (if Everest counts)
5.13 redpoints - Check
Big Walls - Check (a dozen of El Cap's hardest routes)
Ice - Check (Polar Circus, etc.)

Come to think of it, Eric Erickson also fits the term too.

Plenty of folks doing plenty of things.

Tobin Sorenson

Wolfegang Gullich (sp?)

Earl Redfern
(Ahead of his time. He would be doing just what Chris M. is doing now and combining it with climbing. I think that was his ultimate dream)

And I'm not sucking up, so don't mention it!

But because Chris Mac writes guides, runs a great website, does Bigwalls and now pushes the envelope in BASE jumping/Wingsuit flying, and isn't he gonna combine the two, or has Chris already done that? I'd say I'm way impressed.

Also Will Gadd: Sport climber, Ice climber (mixed and all), and formerly the record holder for the longest distance flight on a paraglider out of Zapata, TX. Damn, everything he does he is good at. Very impressive.
