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

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!!!

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

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!

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

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

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

That’s insane! This guy climbed up the hardest peak in the world without supplementary oxygen, drank a Red Bull on the top without showing strong evidence of being exhausted, and went down on his skis, even in the steep parts and in the crests! Awesome!!

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

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.

Red Bull- “just in case you freeze to death, or fall into some rocks or some shit, we’re going to need to get a clip of you drinking a Red Bull at the peak.”

In all my years of skiing I've never seen anything like this. Shocking and yet inspiring. Congratulations!

I can't imagine the amount of adrenaline and pure power this guy must experience. 1st summit one of the highest peaks in the world, 2th ski down this peak and be 1st person in the world to do so. Respect 🙏

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?

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

Vids like this are so much better without backgound music. Thanks

Absolutely love the vibe. Very pleased with the general moving away from flashy photography and pumpy music in outdoor adventure videos - the type of people who are truly interested in and inspired by this type of feat are not the type who want flashy videography. We want pure experience, to feel it the way the athlete feels it. The lack of music and constant sound of his breath creates such a tense atmosphere which of course is nothing compared to what he is experiencing, but at least we get a glimpse. Thanks so much!

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

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.

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

Oh my goodness, that was absolutely incredible. It got me nervous just watching this, I felt my heart rate increasing the whole time. Wow
