No-Oxygen Climber

"Trust your gut feeling. In life in general, but particularly while mountaineering."

David Göttler is a German professional alpinist and mountain guide, who is known for his impressive feats of mountaineering. One of his most notable achievements is summiting Mount Everest without the use of supplemental oxygen - something only very few climbers have ever achieved.
David splits his time between Spain and Chamonix, France.

Beyond Basecamp infrastructure and using fixed ropes / ladders, all gear and supply were carried by David and he did not make use of additional Sherpas. Climbing without oxygen is for David the purest and only form of climbing. 
before reaching the summit of Everest in 2022 David had several failed attempts in prior years, where he had to abandon and turn around.
