Gasherbrum II 8035mt - First Winter Ascent Ever - 2nd February 2011 

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!

I couldn’t walk out my driveway in those conditions 😂

You guys are made of steel and yet very humble with emotions. SALUTE !

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.

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.

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. ✌️😎

there is no harder kind of sport than climbing 8000-ers in winter, odds are like in russian rulette

Awesome, Nice work.

Wow !!

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.

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.

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

Damn. I'm no expert, but it looks cold there.

These guys are my heroes. One day I hope I'll be able to have adventures such as this.

awesome guys and great to see you all back alive ;-)

Pakistan love you guys.

Wowww! Cool video!

Ciao, mi chiamo Matteo, (Sordomuto). Ti scrivo una breve complimenti...... siete grande.... ciao...

Much respect!!! You guys have big balls. So dangerous to try in winter. Congrats.

I think Simone is the luckiest mountaineer in the world. He also survived in Annapurna

Poles just ascended Gasherbrum I. First ascend in winter!

Great respect for YOU... You are real heroes for me Simone, Denis and Cory. RESPECT from POLAND guys!

simply overwhelming! so beautiful!

Bravo mais félicitations j'ai beaucoup apprécié à bientôt merci beaucoup

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

I reckon that whoever ascent 8000ers in winter is a superhuman. 🏔️

Jak w życiu. Im trudniej, tym lepiej ;) As in life. The harder, the better.

sei un grande simone ! vorrei avere solo 1 centesimo della forza fisica ma soprattutto mentale che hai ! mi nutro delle tue avventure..

"something went terribly, terribly wrong.." ...but it wasn't so bad after all.

This is freaking out of this world. Respect Guys:) 😀

Karakorum is the third pole on the earth

that was raw reality for filming. excellent. great myg shots in the end

Best made Mountain documentary ever! - Period

yes, usually they are fixed beforehand during the summer by other helping teams, or themselves.

Europe is the big nation in the world, uk ,italy ,germany,france, is a little nation ,only togheter we are the best

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

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.

so inspiring ,this is one of the reasons anyone should go for the north face gear real product testing lol in inhospitable environments

Quick Question. Were safety ropes laid beforehand to help the climbers ?

Wow!

K2 winter ascent remains undone for no good reason! (only REALLY good reasons for that)

I would do this.............in a video game

great stuff!

amazing.

Денис красавчек!

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.

Who is fixing the ropes?

No avalanche footage?

it's a my country

GREAT VIDEO AND EDIT

Very nice video

Awesome! cheers from Poland!

good job simone

great stuff!

Italy always on the top...

Chuck Norris was the first person to summit all fourteen 8000 meter peaks during winter in sandals, shorts, and a tank top

Deniszka .. i love it ..

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.

Rip

They did, but two of them died.
