If you have a 4K display, pretty incredible shots from his helmet cam. Hard to imagine..

Ski mountaineer Andrzej Bargiel becomes the first person to climb Mount Everest and ski back to Everest Base Camp without supplementary oxygen. After nearly 16 hours climbing in the high altitude “death zone” (above 8,000m where oxygen levels are dangerously low), Bargiel clipped into his skis on the summit of the tallest mountain on earth and started his descent via the South Col Route. He reached Camp II that night and rested - the summit ridge and Hillary Step had taken longer than planned, meaning darkness made it dangerous and difficult to navigate further that day. The next morning, he skied through the treacherous Khumbu Icefall - guided by a drone flown by his brother, Bartek - before safely arriving at Base Camp to become the first person to ascend and descend Mount Everest on skis with no supplementary oxygen.

Mount Everest is fake.

I’m not sure the juice was worth the squeeze. He had a much higher chance of dying than succeeding.

yeah when he flipped part way down... got to think he thought this is it

Pretty soon, there will be a ski resort up there.

If you stacked all the nopes I had from watching that, they would be higher than Everest.

I just had a panic attack sitting in my office.

Khumbu Icefall sounds like a lovely resort.

Due to the terrain, Skiing down seems kinda weird. Its more crawling on skis.

Make a couple of turns. Stop and rest. Make a couple of turns. Stop and rest.

I’m guessing there are no breweries up there … yet…

That was absolutely nutso. You better have man skills and lots of courage and determination to even attempt that. Thanks for sharing. Well worth the time.

You could take everything I have accomplished with skis and crampons on my feet and tie it up in a neat little ball, and it is still about 1/100th of that single adventure.
There is a reason after over 2 decades of the explosion of daredevil shite for better or worse mostly fueled by likes and views that he is still the first to do it. Climbing 8000m peaks without Os is generally considered to increase the risk of death 10 fold, the skiing down portion has been attempted so infrequently you can't put a number on that. His balls would stress the payload capacity of an F350.

Or when he very calmly retrieved his ski pole before it fell completely through that bottomless sink hole

I can’t believe we had this descent and Jim Morrison’s descent of the Hornbein. I didn’t know if we’d ever see a descent of the Hornbein anytime soon.
Not many people have the risk tolerance (or lack thereof) of a Marco Siffredi. Jim Morrison completing the descent is particularly interesting given the tragic loss of Hilaree Nelson.
