Slovak climbers Peter Hámor (52) and Michal Sabovčík (30) reached the summit of Dhaulagiri (8161 m) on May 15 without supplementary oxygen. Peter Hámor became 17th Climber in the world to completed all 14 eight-thousanders without supplemental oxygen. "We gave it! Pete's last and my first 8000. It was really hard, drinking a bottle of pines with beer is nothing compared to it. Still going to BC and seeing in Soulov!" - Michal Sabovčík (message from Facebook).

Hámor had planned to climbed Dhaulagiri in 2009 but that attempt failed because his co-climber Piotr Morawski of Poland died during the ascent.
