Are you guys ready for Everest to become a ski resort now?
>>
>>2848188
I thought the first guy to ski Everest did it a couple decades ago?
>>
>>2848195
There were a few Everest ski descends, although the first one wasn't from the summit. Now there was the first ski descend without oxygen.
>>
How in the world do you do something as exerting as slalom while in a low(er) oxygen environment without collapsing?

idk what i expected but that vid was basically just the dude hiking down the mountain with skis on his feet it didnt look impressive at all in fact it was boring as fuck
>>
>>2848188
I would probably have watched this boring shit but fuck redbull, scroll.

>>2848401
also this
>lol i skied (ie downclimbed) the north face of the eiger pls subscribe
>>
>>2848401
But now you see how ski touring fixes winter mountaineering, you only have to do half of the work if you can travel at 60 mph sliding down hill on snow.
>>
So what was the point of no oxygen just be to be tryhard "badass" like the whole video is him just slippy sliding next to huge life ending ledges this is stupider then redbull rampage. I'm sure god will find a way to make this man pay for his hubris
>>
>>2848196
Seems like they're grasping at arbitrary differences just to be able to claim they're the first, but eh.
Honestly good for him. I don't ski, and I certainly don't have the skill to attempt something like that. That's a hell of a feat.

all fun n games til you hit one of the mile deep crevasses that are barely visible and die.
