Route Notes Translated by Google from Romanian website: Adrian Valean climber, after the rise of the Himalayas without oxygen and Sherpas: It was the hardest expedition Thursday, May 12, 2016, 3:19 pm. Mountaineer Adrian Valean announced that it managed to reach over 7000 meters altitude in the Himalayas without oxygen and without Sherpas, but failed to climb and descend on skis over 8200 meters, as he proposed in because it was 'rock and ice and very little snow'. "Howdy friends! I turned in Katmandu, Nepal, after 4 weeks. It was certainly the hardest expedition and experience of mountain yet. To climb a peak of 8000m, difficult to climb without oxygen and without the support of Sherpa's very difficult to climb solitary and especially to and want to descend on skis is really extreme and although I pulled so hard, I managed to achieve what I wanted. The conditions on the mountain made it impossible attempt to ski: rock and ice and very little snow "Romanian climber wrote in a post on the homepage of Facebook.
