On the 2nd of February 2011, they made history with the over 8000m winter summit of GII in Karakorum.
Read the story on eu.thenorthface...
Having actually summited Gasherbrum 2 in summer I can not even fathom how much harder it would be in winter. What these guys did especially the first winter ascent in the Karakorum is out of this world incredible!
A Nepalese team climber K2 recently climbed in winter. You’d know that I guess having climbed Gasherbrum. I’ve not even been to Asia. My soul,is with the mountains though. It’s no surprise that so many religions come from the mountains…not just the Himalayas. There’s something about them to me.
I couldn’t walk out my driveway in those conditions 😂
You guys are made of steel and yet very humble with emotions. SALUTE !
In March 2009 we went to GII from the Chinese side, up the GII glacier, trying to find a route for a first winter ascent via that side. Jaques Olek organized this trip. Needless to say, that glacier was deadly. Congratulations on the first ascent!
Shows the extreme environment of a winter 8000meter climb. Well done
Exceptional work, my friends. Salute from Faisalabad, Pakistan. Can only just dream of such an achievement. But am going to walk in SOME of your footsteps. Planning to trek Concordia, K2 BC, Gondogoro La, this June, Allah Willing.
These guys are my heroes. One day I hope I'll be able to have adventures such as this.
Cory came to my high school to speak today when he could have been doing a thousand other important things, his story is truly an inspiration
And now you are out of school did his inspiration stick with you?
Best made Mountain documentary ever! -
Period
awesome guys and great to see you all back alive ;-)
Big respect from Philippines
Randy Consular hello fellow kababayan!
Great respect for YOU... You are real heroes for me Simone, Denis and Cory. RESPECT from POLAND guys!
that was raw reality for filming. excellent. great myg shots in the end
This is freaking out of this world. Respect Guys:) 😀
Much respect!!! You guys have big balls. So dangerous to try in winter. Congrats.
simply overwhelming! so beautiful!
sei un grande simone ! vorrei avere solo 1 centesimo della forza fisica ma soprattutto mentale che hai ! mi nutro delle tue avventure..
Why would 7 people dislike this vid, you guys are an inspiration
Joshua Szarowicz they're either normal or smart
There are options: some may dislike the friendship that happens on the mountain between alpinists of any race\people\country, or there are some fuckheads who think alpinism is possible without tears, pain and falls... Anyways, this is a good video, and much respect goes to Simone Moro and Denis Urubko for keeping the international spirit of alpinism high!
I took this comment to mean that those who disliked the vid were 'inspirational' -- which is true, for accomplished assholes.
Awesome,
Nice work.
Wow that avalanche could have been the end of the story, crazy lucky to escape from that the way they did, amazing achievement summiting in the winter in those conditions.
Ciao, mi chiamo Matteo, (Sordomuto). Ti scrivo una breve complimenti...... siete grande.... ciao...
Absolute Madness but great achievement !!
there is no harder kind of sport than climbing 8000-ers in winter, odds are like in russian rulette
B G so climb k2 on winter
@B G Maybe you climbing Rainier in Winter
Maybe big wave surfing but that’s about it
@@Felipe_Ribeir0 the Nepal expedition did it in January 2021.
Wow the view is everything 🤩
Mad respect!!!
Mountain climbing, is so challenging because you enter a space were humans are not supposed to go. It is hostile territory. 5'26" & 7'06" my god ! Physically so demanding. I believe you pushed it too far, you were lucky. ( luck comes to those who are prepared !? ). I am very happy to see you made it back :0) Special thanks to the cameraman who had the strenght and courage to keep on filming.
G Botta absolutely right brother camera man nicely coverage the every point of killer mountain .credit goes to camera men.
Its one of the climbers they swap lol its not cameraman
Super.... Życzymy sukcesów!
Congrats! Stay safe!
Lucky sob's. Proud of you boys. Man thst was close. The spirits were on your side that day ... may they continue to protect you during all your endeavors. ✌️😎
Amazing achievement...
great stuff!
Incredible !
That was a close call though...
yes, usually they are fixed beforehand during the summer by other helping teams, or themselves.
I reckon that whoever ascent 8000ers in winter is a superhuman. 🏔️
so inspiring ,this is one of the reasons anyone should go for the north face gear real product testing lol in inhospitable environments
Pakistan love you guys.
Insane willpower.
GREAT VIDEO AND EDIT
Wow !!
Wowww! Cool video!
Grande Simone ! ! !
Awesome! cheers from Poland!

Damn. I'm no expert, but it looks cold there.
-40 Deg C/F
Very brave, very lucky men..
grandiiiiiiii !!!
great movie
I think Simone is the luckiest mountaineer in the world. He also survived in Annapurna
Attend the Speaker Series, an epic tour enabling you to discover the story of the Gasherbrum II winter ascent ever.
Simone Moro, Denis Urubko and Cory Richards will tell you a special story, in five countries, in five worthy locations.
Huge respect, can not believe it. Incredibly dangerous...
Very nice video
I think it's the most dangerous sport in the world (taking into account the number of deaths). By the way, Polish expedition is attacking Broad Peak this winter.
Great!
goosebumpsss
If we got the kit, we might as well
@taifer73: Ciao Matteo! Grazie mille per seguirci!
Jak w życiu.
Im trudniej, tym lepiej ;)
As in life.
The harder, the better.
Waoo congrats.. no casualties.
Wow!
good job simone
Badassery incarnate. 🤙🏻
This is what the film cold is about
Karakorum is the third pole on the earth
Quick Question. Were safety ropes laid beforehand to help the climbers ?
Deniszka .. i love it ..
Only stupid
@@miro115 who is stupid ?
It is really harsh and wild in karakoram.
Poles just ascended Gasherbrum I. First ascend in winter!
"something went terribly, terribly wrong.." ...but it wasn't so bad after all.
That avalanche was a welcome back to earth after going true hell...
Question, are does ropes fixes till the summit??? Look that way though
Денис красавчек!
What's the name of the song at 4:06 ?
l want go too
Goodmorning, which is the music from minute 4.07 to minute 5.30?
Europe is the big nation in the world, uk ,italy ,germany,france, is a little nation ,only togheter we are the best
Franch europe? Maybe arabic and african?european nation is slowly death.
How to I make an expedition to be sponsored by them?
Not a difficult task ,but stay out from country and successfully complete their mission is very difficult to everyone .Any how i congregate to team leader and every member of the team hope u will remember killer mountain for ever
No avalanche footage?
Chubachus -- watch another documentary on UA-cam "Cold" -- I guess he filmed it -- he is part of this team...
Chubachus -- the guy who was crying to camera has captured the moments I guess, I'm not sure if its real footage of the avalanche---
Who is fixing the ropes?
jurek kukuczka is the best!!!
Forever & ever
Pakistan
Italy always on the top...
Viva Polonia!
K2 winter ascent remains undone for no good reason! (only REALLY good reasons for that)
It's done now by nepalis sherpas in winter .
Встретились как-то американец, итальянец и русский...
I would do this.............in a video game
it's a my country
It's a not your language though.
Chuck Norris was the first person to summit all fourteen 8000 meter peaks during winter in sandals, shorts, and a tank top
I heard that he ripped the mountains out of the ground and stacked them on top of each other to actually provide somewhat of a challenge...
He peed on the moon from the summit.
i belong this country Our pride K.2 Naga perbut bread peack gasherburm tirich mir it's means three moutain range Kara kuram hindokush himalayas located and meet together at a same point jagloot
I am not a good mountaineer, either have any experience using such ropes, but i believe that no.Even if there was some ropes, they would be buried in the snow.
Rip
+Matt Turner Wat?
They did, but two of them died.
They're all alive to date.
Two of them died by the Broad Peak first winter ascent, not here.
God, the sound on this documentary is literally the worst in the history of cinematic sound design. Jesus Christ it was so fucking annoying, along with the boring narration. Such a shame because the journey seemed amazing, but this doc made it completely underwhelming. An epic achievement, that appears uniquely mundane.
great stuff!
