Put another way if do something in a non-orthodox way (free ascent w/o oxygen) that might be MORE impressive than a traditional ascent with O2 assistance but that doesn't mean the traditional ascent isn't impressive on it's own.
- kazinator 10y agoI'm impressed by someone who carries a steel oxygen tank all the way up a very high mountain. According to http://peakfreaks.com/oxygen.htm http://peakfreaks.com/oxygen.htm a popular oxygen tank is the Russian-made POISK, which weighs 2.7 kg, not including the 350 g regulator. So you're lugging 3 extra kilos if you use that one.
