Rok temu zjechałem na nartach z Mount Everestu. Do tego wyzwania podchodziłem aż trzy razy – podczas pierwszej próby zatrzymał nas serak, kolejnym razem wiatr. Dopiero za trzecim razem wszystko zagrało i udało się zrealizować plan ⛷️
Dziękuję wszystkim, którzy byli zaangażowani w ten projekt. Patrząc na to z perspektywy czasu, jeszcze bardziej doceniam, jak wiele pracy, wysiłku i szczęścia potrzeba było, aby to się udało ❤️
A year ago, I skied down Mount Everest. It took me three attempts to complete this challenge – on the first one, we were stopped by a serac, and on the second, by strong winds. It was only on the third attempt that everything finally came together and I was able to complete the plan ⛷️
Thank you to everyone who was involved in this project. Looking back on it now, I appreciate even more just how much work, effort and luck it took to make it happen ❤️

30 czerwca, po wielogodzinnej akcji górskiej, zdobyłem szczyt i wykonałem pełny zjazd narciarski z Nanga Parbat. Ponad 3700 m deniwelacji Drogą Messnera do poziomu bazy.
Tym samym zamknąłem swój projekt: zdobyłem i w pełni zjechałem na nartach ze wszystkich ośmiotysięczników w Pakistanie🇵🇰
Ogromnie się cieszę, że ten wyjątkowy moment na szczycie mogłem dzielić z Januszem Gołąbem, który towarzyszył mi i wspierał mnie podczas całego ataku szczytowego. Janusz, wielkie dzięki! 🤜🤛
Ogromne podziękowania należą się całemu naszemu zespołowi: @KGzela, Pawlikowski Media, Darek Załuski i Pasang Rinzee Sherpa – Wasza pomoc w nawigacji i wsparcie na każdym kroku były kluczowe.

On June 30, after a long summit push, I reached the top of Nanga Parbat and completed a full ski descent from the summit via the Messner Route, skiing over 3,700 vertical meters all the way to Base Camp.
With this descent, I completed a project that has been years in the making: climbing and skiing all of Pakistan’s 8,000-meter peaks 🇵🇰
I’m truly grateful that I could share this summit with Janusz Gołąb, who climbed alongside me and supported me throughout the entire ascent. Janusz, thank you! 🤜🤛
My deepest thanks also go to the team: @KGzela, Pawlikowski Media, Darek Załuski, and Pasang Rinzee Sherpa. Your route guidance, weather updates, and constant support were an essential part of this success.

❌ Putin once again trotted out the old lie about US promises NATO would not expand east
✔️ There was never such an agreement – even Gorbachev said so – and in any case, countries join NATO of their own free will. If Putin didn’t want NATO to grow, he shouldn’t declare war on his neighbors

On this day, 1989.10.24; a mythical marvel Jerzy Kukuczka led a pitch on Lhotse South Face, for one last time. ཨོཾ་མ་ཎི་པ་དྨེ་ཧཱུྃ.
After completing 14x8000s, Jurek made a large Venn diagram back home in Poland. The diagram had illustrated the consequences and positive outcomes of his dream to climb Lhotse south face. After weeks of making notes and battling mental fatigue over the subject, he told his wife and kids he would try one last time. This would be his last trip to Lhotse he told them, but he didn’t know it would be his last climb ever on Earth. While climbing over a bulge of rock above 8000 meters, a fall had cut his rope and he fell for the rest of his life to the lower flanks of Lhotse. At the time of his death in Nepal, it was the middle of the night at his home in Poland, Where his eldest son had a nightmare he and his father were falling in an elevator shaft which never stopped until he awoke screaming with fear.
