Another World Breaking Ski Descent

Not only has the Polish ski mountaineer, Andrzej Bargiel climbed and skied down K2 and Everest without bottled oxygen, but now he has added the 8,126m Nanga Parbat summit to snowline in one continuous, oxygen-free push to his record breaking world firsts.

The Red Bull athlete has once again skied where no man (or woman) has skied down before. Despite numerous previous ski attempts, no expedition had ever completed a continuous descent from the summit to the end of snow conditions.

Bargiel's route ran through the upper Diamir Face, an area complicated by a large serac barrier that had historically forced climbers off their skis.
