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

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?

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.”

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!!

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

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

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

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 🙏

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.

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

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

bruh this insane!! I've admired K2 since I was a kid having watched countless heartbreaking stories in docmentatries etc. Never thought someone would do this, balls of steel mate! K2 is fr the underrated one compared to Everest

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.

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.

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

I think that was one of the hardest things I've ever watched. So many things could have went wrong my lord this guy is brave.

"just remember, your legally required to sip the drink at the summit"

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.

This man is one of the greatest athletes this world has ever seen. Blow my mind!

cameras don't do slopes justice on how steep they are and that thing looks steep as HELL even through the camera. Can't belive he actually did that, what a mad lad

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.

The last video I watched, there was this guy telling how extraordinarily difficult it is to ascent to K2, people die every year, death valley and blah blah blah.... a video later, this guy is skiing down like he's in his grandma's backyard. Insane.

Man, I am so proud this man. He has done a great job... This was a tough experience and took guts. It's when you see experiences like this you realize that you're here on earth to live, not to please but to live. Unbelievable Experience.

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

To put this in perspective: it takes weeks to reach the summit of this mountain. Almost one in four people die during this climb and only 377 people have ever made it to the top. Then you have this madlad who decides to ski down it. An amazing achievement although I must add it was reckless considering there were so many people below him. He could have easily triggered an avalanche, something the K2 mountain is notorius for.

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 🙏

Najbardziej niesamowita rzecz jaką widziałam w życiu. Ogromne brawa i czapki z głów, jesteś niesamowity!

This dude is beyond impressive. Incredible. Wonder what is going on his head as he skies down. Where I saw only risk, this dude saw a way. Kudos to him. We need people like him, who push the boundaries. It is very inspiring. So much to learn from him :

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!

this guy should have been sponsored by K2

This man has balls of steel. I can't even think of to go to K2 base camp. it's 7 days walking on the glaciers.

THE BALLS THIS GUY HAS. MAD RESPECT.

This is beyond amazing. What I find funny is that climbing K2 is already an extraordinary achievement, imagine having to go through that and, just when you are about to reach the summit, you see some dude casually skiing down ahahah

All the guys climbing up were like WTF??Hypoxia making me hallucinate....

The craziest thing about this is the fact that he can't change his mind and back out, once he commits to the summit. He's got to go down to survive.

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

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.

This is simply insane. Not skiing down, but climbing up. Every time when I carry my ski gears and walk in the ski resort, I feel tired very soon. Considering this is K2, the most deadly mountain, and he reached to the summit with ski gears on his back, I cannot imagine how difficult that is.

How didnt I hear about this?! this is absolutely insane what an amazing life experience he had!!!

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!

What this doesn't show is that Andrzej did the remainder of the climb by himself, after his friend/guide was paralysed by lower back pain at the 7000m camp. What a fucking trooper.

This mountain gets a 1/5 from me. No lifts and awful snow.

That feeling of putting your skis over your shoulder after a good day of skiing is priceless.

Самая смертоносная гора в мире!! Эверест по сравнение с К2 просто рядовая гора. А К2 - это смерть! Невероятно тяжелый маршрут. Очень резкие углы и погода, которая меняется по 5 раз в день. Браво!!!! Редко такое бывает, когда от видео мурашки идут!

Red Bull got lucky he didn’t die on this one, this is the most dangerous thing I’ve ever seen

2:15 That is the Japanese team. The last member of that group in yellow is Kojiro Watanabe. Soon after this video was taken he slipped on unstable snow and died while descending through the bottleneck.

Getting goosebumps just seeing this video. Can't imagine how he did it. Respect for you man!!!!

This video of the ski descent is absolutely amazing, made even more amazing by the fact that only the natural sounds are audible not some idiotic music. Thank you for posting this with real audio.

when summitting K2 is the 2nd hardest thing on your to-do list

I am holding my breath as I watch him catch his breath as he skiis. I am so impressed. I have been watching a lot of videos about the Manaslu, Lhotse, K2 and Everest.

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

That Messner Traverse was friggin terrifying!!

One of the most amazing and breathtaking things ever done and filmed in history. This is as impressive as Honnold's free solo of el Capitan, one mistake and it's over.

OMG K2 is very steep it's hard to climb and here you are skiing on it...this could go terribly wrong but kudos to you man 💯 this is absolutely insane... glad you made it down safely

What's impressive is he managed to climb the mountain carrying snow ski's & hauling around balls of steel. This is probably the most incredible thing I've watched someone do on UKposts.

"To the left, to the left, to the left!" Guy keeps on skiing to the right.

Absolute insanity. This and Alex Honnold's El Cap free climb are the two most insane things I think I've ever seen a human do.

This is the single most insane and impressive thing I have ever seen...absolute Chad!!

Way to go you beast! You're a legend. Watching this descend is so addictive.........

Climbing the hardest mountain in the world only to ski down on that type of snow/ice is unreal! Let alone the oxygen deprivation, cliffs of insanity, picking a line that you pray doesn't break away. This is one of the greatest sports achievements in history, akin to Alex Honnold free climbing El Capitan. My hats off to you sir!

To think that more people have been to space than reached the summit of K2 and this guy did it without oxygen and then skiied down. Amazing

1/4 people die trying to climb K2. It's hard to imagine that some of the people in that video never made it back down and this guy is just skiing down. That's incredible.

K2 was in a very,very,veeery good mood that day.... Congratulations ! ! ! :)

K2 is in my hometown, To descend K2 by Ski mean you are going to suicide at your own will.What type of heart this man has in his chest I don't know.That pakistani at bottom was waiting for him to congratulate with a flower every.

i love how casual these two are having a conversation on one of the hardest and most dangerous mountain in the world. They are literally having a conversation like they are on a hike at a local state park. Incredible

Nerve wracking just to watch. Picking his way down this Killer and just cringing at every turn. Amazing guts. Congratulations on staying alive and making history. You'll be reliving this until you're 90.

Imagine you spend months busting your butt prepping for a K2 climb, shelling out a boatload of cash, tons of sacrifices, a million things racing through your head. As you're nearing the top, wondering if you'll even make it back down, suddenly some dude from Poland skis past you, sipping on a Red Bull, gives you a fist bump and just keeps going

Fredrick Ericsson attempted to be the first to ascend and ski down K2 in 2010, he never made the summit, he died on the ascent when a rock dislodged and he fell to his death. More than 10 years later what he attempted has been done, RIP Fredrik Ericsson, and props to who's achieved this.

i would have loved him to ask the climbers: „i‘m looking for the blue ski run to the valley, am i right here?“ pure insanity, unbelievable achievement!

Jak Ty mi zaimponowałeś w tym momencie. Ten trawers z obozu na 7300. Samo wideo było przerażające. Nie chciałbym się znaleźć w tym miejscu, tymbardziej z nartami na nogach. Gratulacje Andrzej.

Greatest and bravest dude alive to achieve this level of achievement on the Universe's most dangerous Mountain K2 Pakistan. No words can describe what we just witnessed in this video. 10 stars

Brave as hell. You know it's real when a pro is leaning back and skidding like I do on a regular slope.

this video is like putting whole body in the mouth of lion. I'm born in k2 valley. it's so harsh to see such a great bravery moment. love from shigar valley Pakistan.

This video leads me to my first skiing experience this winter. You are so inspiring

I've read books on K2 and seen a lot of docs on it...this is incredible.

I can't imagine how many insane micro adjustments he had to make every second. The snow is so variable at that altitude and exposure. The amount of mental focus required to ski that is beyond comprehension. His heartbeat must've been a solid 180 the whole way down.

Radio: Don't go to the right Andrzej: Continues going to the right

Bless that hospitality at camp 3. What a sweetheart.

Never stop exploring, well…thats it done. Truly outstanding.

If it looks so scary on GoPro, it must have looked terrifying in reality!

This is one of the most incredible things I've ever seen. Congratulations to Andrzej and his brother on the drone!

Terryfying even watching it. You should get more recognition. Brawo. My highest peak with a bike was Ben Nevis so I believe it is the time to climb Rysy.

This man is the definition of courage

I love the handshake. I love when people praise one another. That’s the way it should be!

Waiting for that moment where the skiing become enjoyable. Never came. You can feel the difficulty the whole way through

What a legend to ski what few have climbed, and many have died attempting.

In my opinion this guy did the most dangerous imaginable thing in the world. A super hero.

This is incredible. First of all to do anything at the summit without oxygen is a feat in itself, and then to descend on skis is just amazing. Now it looks kinda slow and not so exciting to watch, but if you know anything about K2 and skiing then you realize how difficult and dangerous this is as controlling your speed of descent on such a steep mountain is nearly an inhuman feat of athleticism. It would be so easy to lose control and one single slip would mean almost certain death as there is no way to arrest the fall once the momentum picks up and many of the sections are nearly vertical. Other sections are on ridges with nothing on either side except ice or rock cliffs mere inches from his skis. There is another documentary called Zabardast which features a multinational team of skiers and snowboarders trekking through the himalayas and climbing up some other insane peaks to be the first people to make descents on skis and snowboards that is absolutely incredible to watch.

Seeing him go down the Messner Traverse scared the shit out of me. Absolutely insane!

I know he arrived alive at the base camp, but rewatching this after few k2 tragedy documentaries and bottleneck clips makes my heart skip beats and was holding my breath along the way which i never felt on my first watch.

I'm an ex-ski instructor. I like to think I can handle most terrain on skis but even just looking at this was absolutely terrifying! If you put one foot out of place then you'll have time to call the insurers before you reach the bottom. The skill and commitment needed to not only get down but also get up there in the first place is just out of this world!

Great polish guys they always take up great challenges. Hats off

How does one even conceive it in their mind to attempt this? I cannot wrap my mind around how insanely, utterly, extraordinarily difficult this feat is!

being able to understand without the subtitles made it that much more enjoyable. 🇵🇱🤟🏽

this is the craziest thing i have ever seen

And this is how my parents got to school....
