- Iván Vallejo is a mountaineer from Ecuador. On May 1, 2008, he finished his "Desafio 14" -- a personal quest for reaching the summit of all 14 mountains above 8,000 m, without the use of supplemental oxygen.

He was my Differential Equations teacher at my university EPN, he taught with the same passion as he climbs the mountains, great guy.
Wow
This guy is a legend. Only 7 people have climbed all 14 8000ers without oxygen, he's one of them.
Actually they are about 200
@@Lucius_murrius I said _all_ 14 8000ers without oxygen
@Lucius_murrius Not just Everest buddy this guy was the avengers of the tallest mountains of the world.

Climbing Mt. Everest: Normal
Climbing Mt. Everest without oxygen: Hard
Climbing Mt. Everest without oxygen or sherpas: Legendary
Climbing mt everest only in a bears skin: prehistoric ultra legendary
The true alpinists (like messner) climbed without oxygen, sherpas, fixed ropes, camps and sometimes without food.

He looks like a Sherpa but is from Ecuador 🇪🇨👍
Amazing he isn't breathing hard at 21300 feet high
Tbf he was able to breathe at 29,028 ft...
I read about this he lives in high altitudes all his life
Que orgullo de ecuatoriano!
Si un orgullo por que este es un idiota que no usa oxígeno
Proud of him. It is the only way to do it.
On the one hand, climbing Everest without oxygen is of course a super human effort that deserves every recognition for its extra-ordinariness
On the other hand, using no oxygen etc. is a aesthetic criterion which in the end is arbitrary. Of course also the no-oxygen climbers use technical assistance, in fact tons of it - starting with suits from expensive synthetic materials that otherwise only astronauts wear, or highly processed food that comes straight from chemical factories and is nothing that normal alpineers would ever eat. In fact these things are necessary in part to compensate for lack of oxygen, and it is absurd that they would not count as technical assistance while oxygen does.
In short, everybody should be free how he wants to tackle such a super-human challenge as long as he or she does not create harm to others. Implying though that one way would somehow be more natural or even morally better than another is really nonsense.
As you say, even using crampons, tents, sleeping bags or insulating clothing is an aid so in this sense placing importance on oxygen is rather arbitrary. But choosing a more direct and minimalist form of climbing typically means superior skill and endurance and this is what the climbing community acknowledges.
30 % who climb everest with out oxygen die
How he live without oxygen
If you want "real" contact with the mountain, shouldn't you climb completely without any gear? By that logic, isn't crampons, ice axes and ropes also distancing you from the "real" mountain?
Not to mention sherpas and all the other gear you use, like radios, gps and so on.
The only reason people set this arbitrary limit on themselves is because it can still be done without oxygen, and they think it gives them slightly more respect because it's that much harder. I think it's kind of silly, especially when people who die could have survived if they had used extra o2.
He believes that using condoms when climbing Everest just doesn't feel as good.... Hahaha... He likes it raw
You dont need sherpas to climb the north sode
mmm his lack of oxygen is noticeable
he says he has a relation with the mountains lol the relation between me and the mountain ??
+bruce leee Yeah, you just don't get it, and probably never will.
Agreed Juan....amazing task to accomplish in ones life, of course you become one with the mountain or Nature itself.....zeno you need to get out there & try, even a small one to really see what he's describing!!
@@juaneer yh this guy is too superficial to understand
You need to add also that he isn't an english native speaker.
You are the type of ppl to do everest for your ego
