In 1989 Rheinold Messner directed an international mountaineering expedition to the South Face of Lhotse, 8511 meters in the Himalayas of Nepal. Some of the best climbers of the moment took part in the expedition. In the same year, a few months later, it was the turn of Jerzy Kukuczka and his Polish companions. At 8300 meters of altitude, at the fateful 200 meters from the peak, for an unknown reason, Kukuczka falls and loses his life. 1989 is the black year of the snake.Climbing locations

Seventh episode of the historical series on the Czech Himalayan expeditions 'Ceske himalajske dobrodruzstvi'. The episode focuses on two achievements: The 1984 ascent to the south face of Lhotse Shar, and the 1991 first Czech Everest ascent, by Leopold Sulovsky. The first feat is considered as one of the most important achievements in the Himalayas in the 80s. The expedition, led by Ivan Galfy, solved what Messner qualified as 'the problem of the year 2000'. Czechs Stejskal and Rakoncaj, and a Slovaks Božík and Demján made the first ascent.Climbing locations
