Abstract
Join us for "Summit Legends: An Evening with Krzysztof Wielicki," a unique event celebrating the extraordinary life of one of Poland's legendary high-altitude climbers. Organized in collaboration with the Polish Tourism Organisation, this event offers a rare opportunity to meet Krzysztof Wielicki, the fifth person to conquer all fourteen 8,000-meter peaks and a pioneer of winter ascents in the Himalayas. Wielicki made history with the first winter ascent of Mount Everest in 1980, enduring extreme conditions to reach the summit and redefine the limits of human endurance. The evening will feature a screening of a short film that delves into his groundbreaking expeditions, followed by a live discussion where Wielicki will share insights, stories, and reflections on the challenges and triumphs of his climbing career. Don’t miss this chance to gain inspiration from one of the most influential figures in mountaineering history.
