This descent will go down in history as one of the most daring descents ever made on skis. Following his solo ascent to the summit - without oxygen - Andrzej Bargiel spent the next seven-plus hours getting down from the 8, 611m peak.

Imagine spending your whole life training to climb one of the harshest peak on the planet and you are about to reach the summit. You're elevated, you have a million thoughts going through you're and all of a sudden a dude skis past you on his way down. Absolute mad lad!!!

@@samishiekh lmao dude you couldn't be more wrong. Climbing down is more difficult because when you get down there is tremendous strain on your legs also there is constant fear of falling down so you need to maintain your grip. Also mountains like these have many crevices and faults which are easier to navigate when climbing up

@@samishiekh true but hear this out . The actual stress that you put on your legs is tremendous when going down. Also you are already exhausted when climbing the summit thus conserving energy becomes more critical while climbing down. Climbing down from heights around the alpine tree line is not a big deal but it's k2 climbing down here is certainly more difficult in either terms of energy consumption or the risks that climber has to face.

The good thing about K2 is that it doesn't require supplement oxygen every time. Because weather in this karakoram region is mostly not harsh as compared to nepal tibet region. If you notice closely, most of the summiters doesn't carry oxygen tank also there is low windgusts so that you can breathe the thin oxygen.

You can pay $100,000 and get a guide and 2 sherpas that will carry your gear, cook, set up your tent and lines to the summit of Everest. Nobody, ABSOLUTELY NOBODY will take you to the top of K2. Only experts, in top olympic athlete level physical condition and determination can summit K2, and only if the mountains allows it. 1 out of 4 climbers never get off that mountain. What this man did is unreal! How come this was not front page everywhere?

This is incredible. First of all to do anything at the summit without oxygen is a feat in itself, and then to descend on skis is just amazing. Now it looks kinda slow and not so exciting to watch, but if you know anything about K2 and skiing then you realize how difficult and dangerous this is as controlling your speed of descent on such a steep mountain is nearly an inhuman feat of athleticism. It would be so easy to lose control and one single slip would mean almost certain death as there is no way to arrest the fall once the momentum picks up and many of the sections are nearly vertical. Other sections are on ridges with nothing on either side except ice or rock cliffs mere inches from his skis. There is another documentary called Zabardast which features a multinational team of skiers and snowboarders trekking through the himalayas and climbing up some other insane peaks to be the first people to make descents on skis and snowboards that is absolutely incredible to watch.
