Description:
Conquering an eight-thousander from base camp in under twelve hours without outside help, material depots or artificial oxygen, followed by a daring ski descent over icy slopes with 50-degree pitch. For Munich extreme athletes Sebastian Haag (30) and Benedikt Böhm (31), speed ascents on the world's highest mountains are their great passion. The next expedition will take vet Haag and sports manager Böhm in July 2009 to the summit of Broad Peak (8,051 m) in Pakistan in record time. Goal is skis from base camp (5,000 m) to summit and back under 18 hours. For their big dream, they train more intensely than ever. But why such hardships? "When will defeats fear and inner 'no-sayer', it's an insane feeling. After a hard day outside, more life flows through our veins and everything feels more intense," explain Sebastian and Benedikt.
