Denis Urubko story - part 1

Denis Urubko is one of the strongest Himalayan alpinists of all times: he climbed all 8000-meter peaks without oxygen bottles, opening alpine style new routes on Broad Peak, Manaslu, Cho Oyu and Lhotse. He made also Makalu and Gasherbrum II first winter ascents. Denis story is unique and incredible, his life is a great adventure: Denis tells about himself and his experiences in this first episode.

I met this man when I climbed Mt Elbrus this spring. He was very cordial, and a pleasure to talk to. He put up with our group as we asked him an endless string of climbing questions.

One of the biggest legend ever, life hurt and Mr Urubko got some real experience of it. Many ways to think about his lonely K2 attempt but still the biggest ever. Really tuff boy, without Revel won't be here anymore.

Army trained, ruthless. success at any cost. K 2 expedition gave you EU passport and money to be on K2.... You are finished in my eyes...

[@oldschoolchannel7402]

Poland deserved such a higher expedition respect, I believe Denis been taken as it was with all his skills, as he is the man with the most of the knowledge of K2. He said it I do not like to be under order, I'll do my way. He spoke with other climbers to make it together. All these team partners been made aware. Management of expedition been not at the level it should be. Thanks to Poland to support real sport and to aiming high. Many other countries rather a football worldcup.

[@tompaj10]

Before expedition he said to the leader (Wielicki) that he will be soldier and Wielicki be a commander...
Poland lost few climbers recently and I guess, Wielicki approach is to try to get to summit but not at human cost...
Time for Dennis is running out to climb K2, age being #1 and possibility to find another expedition in which he will not be just high altitude sherpa..
Dennis move was not logical to me, in worst case they could get K2 in March, he would be written in history as a team mate. Or maybe his move was planned long time ago and he used Polish expedition as a trampoline only. Now they have problem by not having acclimatized partner for Bielecki..
Anyway, Dennis without this type of character he would not achieve what he achieved

[@oldschoolchannel7402]

K2 cannot be reach in March, weather is even worst, Wielicki used Urubko's skills to make it for Poland. Urubko's gave a last go into the summit and for sure did not believe in it, only Dennis and Adam could make it as they are the best right now in the world. March weather is even worst, Wielicki is a maybe a legend but too old and out of business. Dennis can try again in the next couple of years and for sure can find out some partners for it. Wielicki did not manage properly this and the social media fight show that he is not a leader. Urubko's and Wielicki partnership did not worked, without Wielicki and someone else it could maybe done. They went to save Revol, taking time off the K2, some "summer climbers" at 70k for the Everest left Sharp to reach the summit. Climbing is not poetry is some part but action and discipline not time wasting facebook talks.
