This is the story of Jerzy Kukuczka, a Polish high-altitude climber who ascended all 14 eight-thousanders mountains in the world in 1987.
He is one of the greatest high-altitude climbers of all time, was the second mountaineer to climb all fourteen eight-thousanders in the world; a remarkable feat which took him less than eight years to accomplish.
He is the only climber in the world who has climbed two eight-thousanders in a winter. Altogether, he has ascended four eight-thousanders in winter, including three as first ascents.
During his career, he established ten new routes on the eight-thousanders, a record no one could break so far.
He established a new route on K2 in alpine style known as the Polish Line which no one has repeated so far. It’s one of the hardest and most dangerous routes in the Karakoram.
He ascended all fourteen eight-thousanders in less than eight years; he held the world record for shortest time span to summit the eight-thousanders for nearly 27 years.
