Polish Radio is reporting that Andrzej Bargiel has become the first person ever to ski down K2. Whoa!

So what have the Poles done in the Greater Ranges that did not involve a touch of madness?

Everyone has a goal I guess. Props!!! I can't even wrap my head around climbing up and making a little snowman on top (you probably can't) and climbing down.

BTW, a friend told me that all the black diamond and double black diamond runs are on the other side of the face in the photo.

Watched his Broad Peak video, hardcore.

Does anyone know the name of the snowy peak to the left of K2 in the route image?
