In 2002, 56-year-old Krzysztof Wielicki, delivered a manifesto to the Polish Mountaineering Association calling for a return to the Himalaya in winter: “According to the old rule, you should do what you do best,” he declared. “We were successful in high mountain winter explorations. Six unconquered peaks are waiting for us, but volunteers are nowhere to be seen…. We have done one half of the job. Now it’s your turn to finish it: you the young, angry, and ambitious. We are giving you eight years"
