In 2017, Bargiel announced his intention to ski K2. Davo Karničar, the veteran Slovene extreme skier who in 2000 became first person to ski Everest top to bottom, announced his plans to do the same. In 1993, Karničar had been the first to attempt skiing K2 but abandoned the effort after wind lifted his unanchored skis off the mountain at 25,900 feet. It could have been worse—gale-force winds have blown entire climbing parties off the mountain.
Neither skier achieved their goal that summer, which was no surprise. Years can go by where conditions are so dangerous on K2 that no one is able to climb to the summit. But Bargiel, aided in part by a drone operated by his brother, Bartek, conducted valuable reconnaissance and climbed half of his planned route, digging snow caves for shelter from high-altitude storms. By studying how the snow and hanging glaciers responded to temperature changes throughout the day, he gained a critical understanding of the timing and positioning needed to navigate the mountain and the enormous seracs—large, unstable blocks of ice, that litter its slopes. In 2008, 11 climbers died on K2 from a single falling serac.
“I’ve talked with mountaineers and guides who’ve been on K2 that said, ‘No way, it’s just not possible,’” Davenport says.
