would a solo alpine winter ascent of K2 without oxygen be a greater feat than free soloing El Capitan?

They aren't comparable, they are testing completely different skills.

>without oxygen
I'm not very well versed in mountaineering, but is it even humanly possible to survive long enough in the "death zone" of mountains such as K2 to summit AND come back down out of the death zone? Is it possible, time-wise?

Yes. A good number of people have climbed 8000m peaks without oxygen.

This is a great trip report by someone who did K2 unguided without oxygen if you want to read one

Holy shit that's a great read, thank you so much. I'm a sucker for anything about expeditions to K2 and Annapurna.

You should read some of this other trip reports (he is trying to summit the highest peak in every country). His trip report for the highpoint of Afghanistan is great.
