Manaslu
Jerzy Porębski (2014)
30 years ago zakopanians made the first winter ascent of Manaslu. The expediton set several records including the first winter ascent on an eight-thousander without supplemental oxygen. Maciej Berbeka and Ryszard Gajewski were the two on the top. It was the second eight-thousander conquered in winter; in this case, with modest forces, without meteo forecasts, virtually with no comunication between the camps, and without fanfare. An authentical and exceptional great achievement.- 2014
