Ski mountaineer Andrzej Bargiel becomes the first person to climb Mount Everest and ski back to Everest Base Camp without supplementary oxygen.

As an aside … sort of …

I have known two local men who successfully climbed Mt. Everest. Both were Doctors. Both were very wealthy men. Yeah, climbing Mt. Everest is definitely a rich man sport.

I’m surprised the “extreme sport” aficionados on the left aren’t clamoring for the “first poor black man” to climb Everest. They’ve got em playing golf, hockey and swimming … to mention other white man sports

Oh! And skiing down the mountain? Amazing. I can barely ski down the face of KT-22 at Squaw Valley without my legs burning by the end of the run (back in my day). And KT-22 was named for the reported 22 kick turns it takes to get down the face. I expect there were jussssst a few more than 22 kick turns coming down Everest.

  Thank you for proving my point. That RACE was finally (in 2022) injected to Everest expeditions.

    Human achievement is not something you inject, but you like blurting out brainfarts that push your prejudices. That’s not very Christlike.

      That might be true if you just shut the hell up about your skin color which SHOULD have nothing whatsoever to do with achievement … (see: affirmative action) … unless you are racist.
      
      And just like clockwork … the WAPO celebrated skin color … not achievement.
      
      Pssst. I’m not the racist.
      
      PS … it’s the same with the LGBTQueer-mutants … who should just BE humans and never speak of their sex proclivities as actual achievement of some sort. Or take “pride” in taking it on the otherside. Thankfully people like Douglas Murray, Dave Rubin … etc. don’t.
