>This January, a veteran Polish team will try and make history by scaling one of the world’s most dangerous mountains during the worst season of the year.
>Earth’s second-tallest mountain is the ultimate alpine challenge. It eluded numerous expeditions (and killed many climbers) since the first summit in 1954. Only 306 people have stood on the summit, compared to Everest’s more than 4,500.
>Over the course of several months, the team led by Krzysztof Wielicki will set up multiple camps, ropes, and routes for the ascent. The Polish Ministry of Sport and Tourism provided 1,000,000 Polish zlotys (about $200,000) in funding for the trip.
