skiing down the most DANGEROUS mountain

this is the first time someone was brave enough to tackle a K2 decent on skis - this is how he did it 🎿

"there was no going back" lol I'd argue that's exactly what he was doing when he got to the top and clipped in his skis

[@theodorecharles6502]

"there was no going back" red bull is LYING to you he could've unclipped and walked back up

[@inspiration356]

the chances of him with a different personality thinking those exact words were slim. it’s a good guess though.

[@iettptt]

I’m shocked that he managed to climb up there without any external help. His huge balls must have been dragging him down.

[@ayakacrane8569]

I don't believe the "without external help" part as it looks like he used previously established ropes. It is amazing that his climb is a "no portable oxygen" one.

[@DrakesGhostWriter]

@@ayakacrane8569 Ropes are set by previous climbers, they don't take them back. 1 pound of rope can REALLY MAKE A DIFFERENCE during 12h descend, while your body is slowly shutting down. But ropes were for everybody, as you can see 17 other climbers climbed that day and used the ropes. The thing with those mountains is there are maybe 20-25 DAYS in a YEAR when you can climb, first the most experienced climbers go to put down ropes etc (not necessarily near summit, just from base camp to camp four. Probably next day as they summit (In case of Everest you climb, and you have 2-3h of rest in a camp 4 then you summit) in K2 as it's 10x more dangerous than Mount Everest, probably you have like 6h to take a nap at camp four which is below death zone, so you can rest, but even 8h there doesn't give you the amount of rest that 3h in base camp would do or 1.5h in our houses. I believe there is video of Pole full summit without any external help and any oxygen AND carrying all gear by himself, and a video of full 7h ski descent. Descent is way harder than ascension, gravity basically tries to make you pancake or an ice lollypop, so you have to really fight with gravity not to end up like that. Even if you're attached to the rope you can fall, K2 is very rocky AND icy, if you slide 20m (45f) even attached to the rope you can easily bonk your head on a rock and not wake up again.

The guy in yellow that he passes in the beginning died on the mountain while this descent was happening.

[@kizza8585]

Japanese climber Kojiro Watanabe, made it to the summit, but died from falling during his descent at the Bottleneck. Before Bargiel's ascent, renowned Scottish climber Rick Allen went missing presumed dead on a descent from Broad Peak, but was located by Bargiel and his brother's drone, then later rescued by a separate team. Rick Allen died in an avalanche on K2 almost exactly 3 years later.
