Polish Mountaineer Skis Everest Without Supplementary Oxygen

The 37-year-old spent 16 hours in the death zone where climbers receive only a third of normal oxygen levels.

He  then skied back down to base camp navigating dangerous ice falls with guidance from a drone operated by his brother.

He succeeded on his third attempt at Everest after previous failed expeditions in 2019 and 2022.

“It’s one of the most important milestones in my sports career,” he said.

“Skiing down Everest without oxygen was a dream that had been growing inside me for years.

“I knew that the difficult autumn conditions and plotting the descent line through the Khumbu Glacier would be the greatest challenge I could ever face.”
