Twenty-four hours after Andrzej Bargiel carved turns down the perfect pyramid of Gasherbrum II, his team has uploaded a brief video that gives a great idea of the challenge’s difficulty:
The Polish skier will now try to repeat the feat on Gasherbrum I. This will be even more difficult, especially between Camp 2 and Camp 3. There, Bargiel will have to deal with the exposed Japanese Couloir, and with the 50º to 55º ramps before the final summit ridge.
