First Ski Descent of Kangchenjunga, 8586 m

The plates really made the difference on the summit push.

Bartek Ziemski & Oswald Rodrigo Pereira

What an incredible no-oxygen ascent of the third-highest mountain by Polish Mountaineers Bartek Ziemski and Oswald Rodrigo Pereira. Without any ropes on the top part, the two were the only ones to make it to the summit this year. And then Bartek makes the first ski descent.
