Daredevil Andrzej Bargiel has become the first person to ski down the world's second-highest mountain, the Polish national said Sunday.
Bargiel whizzed down from the summit of Pakistan's 8,611-metre (28,251-feet) K2 to the mountain's base camp after reaching the peak with around 30 others on Saturday.
"Andrzej Bargiel reached the base of the mountain. The first complete descent on ski from K2 is done!" he posted on his Facebook page.

Yes. K2 is a technical climb, often done without sherpas.
In other words you have to know what youre doing to climb it, without someone holding your hand.

Higher percentage die trying K2. Everest has higher total deaths.
K2 - 86 out of 375 summits
Everest - 287 out of 7500 summits
Not sure of how many attempts per deaths.

I've been skiing before. Could have been me.

Less than 350 people have made it to the top of K2 since it was first summited in 1954. A further 80 have died trying, including a Canadian national who fell to his death earlier this month.
