Remembering legendary climber ♥

𝐉𝐄𝐑𝐙𝐘 𝐊𝐔𝐊𝐔𝐂𝐙𝐊𝐀

Jerzy Kukuczka, born in 1948 in Katowice, Poland, emerged as one of the greatest high-altitude climbers of all time. He became the second person in the world to summit all 14 eight-thousanders, accomplishing this feat on September 18, 1987 (just eleven months after Reinhold Messner). Kukuczka's climbing style was characterized by alpine ascents and new route explorations. He progressed rapidly from the local Tatra mountains to the Alps, then Alaska and the Himalayas

Notably, Kukuczka completed ten new routes while conquering the world's highest peaks. With the exception of Everest, where he used supplementary oxygen, he predominantly climbed without it. His solo ascent of the virgin NW Ridge of Makalu (1981) and his winter ascents of Dhaulagiri (January 21, 1985), Kanchenjunga (January 11, 1986), and Annapurna I (February 3, 1987) marked historic achievements. It is worth mentioning that Kukuczka's ascent of Cho Oyu (second winter ascent, new route) was completed just seven days after his arrival at the base camp (February 15, 1985). In 1981, Kukuczka undertook a solo expedition to Makalu, achieving a second winter ascent and mapping a new route. The following year, he successfully scaled Broad Peak using the standard route in alpine style (1982). In 1983, he embarked on an adventurous expedition to Gasherbrum I and II, where he established new alpine routes. Kukuczka returned to Broad Peak in 1984, unveiling another new route. Kukuczka's most remarkable achievement came in 1986, when he conquered the unclimbed south face of K2. Despite enduring immense hardship, he scaled a new route on the mountain's imposing walls in alpine style (1986). He displayed unwavering courage in the face of K2's formidable reputation. Continuing his remarkable streak, Kukuczka pursued a second winter ascent on Cho Oyu along with a new route in 1985. He followed it with a successful alpine-style ascent of Manaslu (1986). In 1987, he added Sh**ha Pangma to his list of conquered peaks (a new route, alpine style).

Jerzy Kukuczka's legacy as a trailblazer in mountaineering is defined by his innovative climbing style, remarkable achievements on the world's highest peaks, and his indomitable spirit in the face of adversity. His contributions to the sport continue to inspire generations of climbers around the globe.
