The Ultimate Human Feat on the Mount Everest Summit
Climbing the Mount Everest summit without supplemental oxygen is one of the rarest achievements in mountaineering. Only a tiny fraction of Mount Everest expedition members even attempt it.
Without 'Os', the body is in a state of rapid decay. The risk of frostbite and brain damage increases ten-fold. It is the purest form of Everest trekking and climbing.
Reinhold Messner and Peter Habeler proved it was possible in 1978. Their success shattered medical beliefs and set a new standard for the elite Mount Everest expedition community.
Climbers who summit without oxygen often take months to fully recover. The toll on the heart and lungs is immense. It is the ultimate test of human willpower near the Everest summit.
While most of us rely on technology, those who climb without it remind us of what the human spirit is truly capable of on the Mount Everest summit.
