The polish ski mountaineer Andrzej Bargiel re-wrote history on the K2 (8.611m summit), the infamous Himalayan peak, the world’s second highest mountain. On July 22nd 2018 he summited K2 without oxygen and skied from peak to base without removing his skis – a seemingly impossible challenge which had never been completed before or since. The 60h+ ascent of K2 alone is an extraordinary achievement that pushes even the most experienced and highest skilled mountaineers to their limits.

Proof that we go to great lengths to bring you the best possible action here on the GKA Kite World Tour! Ines Correia and Peri Roberts, two event favourites faced each other in the...
