8000m and above

This is a site about reaching 8000m and above - without oxygen and without support "What we get from this adventure is just sheer joy. And joy is, after all, the end of life. We do not live to eat and make money. We eat and make money to be able to enjoy life. That is what life means and what life is for" George Herbert Leigh Mallory - 18 June 1886 – 8 June/9 June 1924
