LA LEGGENDA DI "JUREK" JERZY KUKUCZKA

"You are not second, you are great." So wrote Reinhold Messner to Jerzy "Jurek" Kukuczka, after becoming the first in history to climb all fourteen 8,000-meter peaks in the Himalayas, a record Kukuczka equaled a year later. A story not only of mountaineering but of social redemption, between the ideological and cultural divide that divided Europe between West and East. A story of great feats, tragedies, questions, and courage. Jurek died on the iconic yet terrifying South Face of Lhotse, when the time for records was over, when he had nothing left to prove. Or maybe he did. • 📚 MY VERTICAL WORLD. https://amzn.to/4hKZalG • 📹 JUREK https://amzn.to/4iW33Fa • To subscribe to the channel: • Watch the video on Messner:    • REINHOLD MESSNER E LA STORICA SOLITARIA SU...   • CREDITS: "Jurek" directed by Pawel Wysoczanski • Official website: https://jerzykukuczka.com/en/home-page/ • #mountaineering #history #himalaya #mountains #mountaineering #mountains #mountaineering #kukuczka • • • • "As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases."
