Lhotse, l'année noire du serpent







Reinhold Messner and Jerzy Kukuczka, the first two winners of the fourteen peaks over 8000 meters, decided to confront the formidable architecture of the south face of Lhotse (8516 meters). The expedition led by Hans Messner is composed of Kammerlander, Christophe Profit and Krzysztof Wielicki. After several attempts, the monsoon arrives without anyone having reached the summit. Shortly after, Jerzy Kukuczka arrived on the scene. While a staggering wind sweeps the wall in a vain attempt to 8300 meters, he made a fatal fall. He was 41 years, was the dark year of the snake.
