Polish climber makes history skiing down Everest without bottled oxygen

Poland's PM hails Andrzej Bargiel's completion of the challenge after two previous failed attempts

A Polish adventure skier has made history by becoming the first person to climb up and ski down Mount Everest without the use of additional oxygen.

The ascent was Andrzej Bargiel's third attempt at climbing Everest - the tallest mountain on earth at 8,849 metres (29,032ft) high - after dangerous conditions forced the 37-year-old to abandon earlier attempts in 2019 and 2022.
