Skier makes history skiing down Everest without bottled oxygen | Skiing
Polish adventure skier wrote history as the first person to climb and ski on Mount Everest without using additional oxygen.
Ascension, Andrzej Bargiel’s attempt to climb Everest-8.849 meters (29,032ft) height of the highest mountain-tehlikeli conditions on earth forced the previous initiatives to abandon previous initiatives in 2019 and 2022.
“The summit itself was difficult and difficult. I have never spent so much time in such an altitude in my life, so it was a challenge on its own, Bard Bardiel said. “It was a dream that has grown in me for years to ski without oxygen.”
According to the Himalayan database, more than 7,000 people climbed the mountain, but only 200 made it without additional bottled oxygen. A few people skied back, but never constantly downhill without additional oxygen.
It lasted about 16 hours on Monday, climbing Bargiel’s famous “death zone olan, which is over 8,000 meters, where oxygen levels are dangerous.
At the top of the mountain, the air is so thin that the climbers take only one third of the oxygen at sea level. This can cause brain damage, fluid in the lungs and even death.

On Tuesday morning, he skited from Khumbu Icefall, an ice towers and deep cracks, known as one of the most dangerous parts of Everest before he came to Base Camp. Throughout this episode, it was partially directed by a flying drone by his brother Bartek.
“In relatively safe conditions, I have divided the landing into two parts, as it is possible to wander in Icefall, which is difficult to technically, in the morning,” he said.
Bargiel team said in a statement that it was “a groundbreaking milestone in the world of skiing mountaineering”.

In 2018, Bargiel became the first person to ski the K2 of Pakistan, the second highest mountain in the world.
In an interview with Guardian in 2020: “Nobody thought it could be done; even my own brother had doubts. He taught me the value of patience – and that no one could realize your dreams.”
