Experience the world's first ski descent of K2 with Andrzej Bargiel

This descent will go down in history as one of the most daring descents ever made on skis. Following his solo ascent to the summit – without oxygen – Andrzej Bargiel spent the next seven-plus hours getting down from the 8, 611m peak.

Imagine spending your whole life training to climb one of the harshest peak on the planet and you are about to reach the summit. You're elevated, you have a million thoughts going through you're and all of a sudden a dude skis past you on his way down. Absolute mad lad!!!

this guy is just chilling on the top of the hardest mountain to climb, second tallest summit in the world, drinking redbull and talking about how it’s a little windy, you gotta love it

This guy climbed the summit of K2 solo without supplemental O2 & with Skis on his back and skied down K2.
This man is out of this world, a genius and a prodigy!

[NNJAKIDD]

I like the way he stopped and greeted anyone he came across on his way down, nice touch

[mchase]

Only 367 people have summited K2 which makes this ski descent even that more impressive.

[maximbollansee]

Insane. Just blows my mind. Getting up the K2 is just crazy allready, let alone taking a pair of skis with you to yolo your way down.. mad.

[Warribo]

Imagine making an ascent on K2 and looking up to see some guy skiing past like he's on holiday 😲

[teodorabogdanova]

The craziest and scariest thing I ever watched!
This guy is a legend! So brave! Such an athlete! First to climb K2 and then to skiing down. Insane!

[InvisibleMinority]

This is high on my list of things I am never going to do.

[themissingsector]

He made that descent look so easy while I'm still processing that he summited without supplemental oxygen. The way he greeted everyone he met on the way down was very nice too. What an amazing athlete 🙏

[abdullahwaris]

You know a video is legendary when it starts at the summit of k2

[alexnelson]

This is insane. No oxygen, terrible snow, unreal exposure, and that's after summiting K2 and hauling ski gear to the top. I'm completely blown away.

[mikecraddock]

Incredible bravery not only from the man skiing but the support team, especially the small person who sat on his shoulders to record the whole thing amazing levels of trust!

[hobmarg]

I don’t know why it seemed like this didn’t get a ton of press/hype in the media. This is one of the most impressive/insane things done on skis ever.

[MuhammadAhmadShafqatOkara]

This act is way beyond bravery, it is the peak of self confidence and talent

[redoak]

I don’t think a lot of people understand how insane this actually is

[ojjuiceman]

Buddy is out of breath just moving down 10 feet on those skis. That lack of oxygen is no joke and this man is a world class athlete of the highest caliber.

For the ones who do not know: K2 makes Everest look like a walk in the park. You can pay $100, 000 and get a guide and 2 sherpas that will carry your gear, cook, set up your tent and lines to the summit of Everest. Nobody, ABSOLUTELY NOBODY will take you to the top of K2. Only experts, in top olympic athlete level physical condition and determination can summit K2, and only if the mountains allows it. 1 out of 4 climbers never get off that mountain. What this man did is unreal! How come this was not front page everywhere?

Ja już nie wiem ile razy to widziałam i dalej tu wracam. Gratulacje dla całej drużyny i czapki z głów dla Andrzeja 🎉🇵🇱

[Hypeman]

I just can’t believe this is real. I’m fucking blown away. The balls on this guy... He must’ve made total peace with the idea that he is going to die. Truly amazing. Can’t say enough about him.
