I grew up in the cuntryside f Pland. It's an area where skiing is ppular, but my family
was pr. I culdn't affrd t ride the ski lift(运送滑雪者的吊椅), s I used t hike up with the
skis n my back. It turned ut that this was gd practice.
K2(乔戈里峰) is nicknamed “savage muntain”. Yu hear sad stries: Fr every fur
peple wh reach the tp f the muntain, ne dies. I was t afraid t even think abut skiing dwn it. Even the best muntain climbers thught it impssible.
But that changed after a training expeditin t Brad Peak. I gt a clear lk at K2's massive face, and it encuraged me. Over time, my skills imprved and, by 2017, I didn't feel the fear anymre. I began preparatins.
Why try such a feat(壮举)?I lve nature, and I lve setting gals. T be the first t d it just adds t the challenge. Fear is an imprtant part f life, but t ski dwn K2, I had t stp being afraid.
At the base camp, I felt calm and prepared. There were n mds r dubts ——I just knew I culd d it. But there were challenges. At the third base camp, 7,000 meters up, my safety guy suffered serius back pain. We waited fr 36 hurs after he gt better, and I decided t cntinue. In ttal, it tk abut three days t reach the tp.
Fr many climbers, getting t the tp f K2 wuld be the defining mment f their lives. Fr me, it was where the real challenge began. Skiing dwn a muntain requires patience and endurance.
The mst dangerus part was the Messner Traverse. It's pure ice, up t a 75-degree angle in places, with drps n either side. Yu need t keep yur turns and mvements smth and cnfident. N ne had tried it befre, s it was a relief t crss it.
In ttal, ging dwn the muntain tk abut seven hurs. When I finally skied int camp, I simply lay in the snw, tired in bth mental and bdy.
I'm s prud f what I achieved. N ne thught it culd be dne. It taught me the value f patience and that nbdy else can make yur dreams cme true.
