Hero or myth-maker Maurice Herzog? The 1950 French Annapurna expedition still divides opinion today.

On 3 June 1950, Maurice Herzog and Louis Lachenal became the first humans to summit an 8,000-metre peak — Annapurna (8,091 m).
No oxygen, no previous route, just raw determination in the Himalaya.

The price was brutal: both men suffered terrible frostbite. Herzog lost all his fingers and most of his toes. This haunting photograph of his blackened hands remains one of the most powerful images in mountaineering history.

“Annapurna” — Herzog’s bestselling book — sold over 10 million copies and turned him into a French national hero.

But decades later, controversy erupted: teammates and Lachenal’s unedited diaries (published 1996) accused Herzog of downplaying others’ roles and portraying Lachenal unfairly to protect his legacy.

Maurice Herzog (1919–2012) — the man who opened the 8,000m era.

On July 8, 1986, 🇵🇱 Jerzy Kukuczka and Tadeusz Piotrowski stood atop K2 via South Face, the "Polish Line."

No route. No fixed line. No certainty. Just two Poles climbing the most dangerous face of the most dangerous mountain, in pure alpine style.

🗻 First ascent of K2’s South Face.
🗻 The route never repeated.

They started in June. Quietly. While most of the international expedition balked at the challenge, the Poles stepped forward. The face was vertical, creased with icefalls and death. But it called to them.

Camp I by June 9. Then the team began to unravel. The Swiss left. Then the German. By June 21, only two remained.

On June 24, a storm forced them down from 7,400 meters. They waited seven days. July 3, the skies cleared and they launched again.

Up the couloir they called the "Hockey Stick."
Up the headwall—V+ grade at 8,000 meters with a single 30-meter rope. No oxygen. No margin.

July 8, 6:25 PM, they stood on top. Twelfth 8000er for Kukuczka. First for Piotrowski.

They embraced. Then turned to descend into darkness. No gas. No light. One mistake away from death.

It came the next day.

On the slope where Gilkey had died in 1953, Piotrowski slipped. His crampons flew off. He almost hit Kukuczka—and disappeared.

Kukuczka continued down. Alone. Five hours to descend 200 meters. Starved. Frozen. Broken. He reached a Korean tent. Then sleep. Then silence.

Four days later, he flew out by helicopter.
The face behind him. The dream complete.

But there was no joy. Just survival.
Because on K2, the mountain lets you choose: glory or life.

Rarely both.

Polish climber Piotr Krzyżowski has summited Dhaulagiri I (8,167 m), the world’s seventh-highest mountain, yesterday, October 01, 2025, marking his tenth eight-thousander climbed without the use of supplementary oxygen or Sherpa support.

Krzyżowski reached the summit in minimal style, continuing his quest to climb all 14 of the world’s highest peaks under strict no-O₂, no-Sherpa rules. His GPS tracker confirmed the successful ascent, though further details of his climb are still to follow.

This ascent comes just 5 days after another major success. On September 25, 2025 Nepal time, Krzyżowski stood on the summit of Manaslu (8,163 m), the world’s eighth-highest peak, without using bottled oxygen or high-altitude support.

His achievements include his bold double ascent in spring 2024, when he summited Lhotse (8,516 m) on May 21 and Everest (8,848.86 m) on May 23, completing both climbs within 48 hours in pure alpine style. Such a back-to-back ascent of these two giants without oxygen has been achieved by only a handful of mountaineers in history. Earlier this year in spring Krzyżowski also achieved a successful ascent of Makalu (8,463 m), the fifth-highest mountain in the world, without using bottled oxygen or high-altitude support.

For the 46-year-old lawyer from Poland, who also serves as a mountain rescuer in his home country, these climbs add to an already impressive résumé. After a winter ascent of Khan Tengri (7,010 m) in Kyrgyzstan in 2019, Krzyżowski turned his sights to the Himalaya and Karakoram. He summited Gasherbrum II in 2021, Broad Peak and K2 in 2022, and in the summer of 2023 completed all five of Pakistan’s eight-thousanders by scaling Nanga Parbat and Gasherbrum I, all without using supplementary oxygen.

With ten of the 14 eight-thousanders now behind him, each climbed without bottled oxygen or Sherpa support, Piotr Krzyżowski is steadily establishing himself as one of the strongest independent Himalayan climbers of his generation.

In 1995, Swedish mountaineer Göran Kropp set off from Stockholm by bicycle 🚴‍♂️ toward Mount Everest 🏔️, towing a trailer carrying 108 kg of climbing gear ⛓️🎒. He cycled nearly 13,000 km across Europe and Asia 🌍🚴‍♂️.

Arriving at Base Camp in Nepal 🇳🇵, he climbed Everest solo, without bottled oxygen 🫁❌ or Sherpa porters 🙅‍♂️. In May 1996, he reached the top of the world 🏔️🌟, completing one of the most demanding expeditions ever recorded.

After this incredible climb, he took his bike back to Sweden 🚴‍♂️🇸🇪, cycling much of the way back. His journey has gone down as one of the greatest tests of physical and mental endurance in the history of mountaineering 💪🧠✨.
