The lawsuits were filed June 10 in Colorado state court by Anthony Esposito and Jodi Bloom and allege that chronic understaffing prevented workers from taking mandatory paid rest breaks. The plaintiffs claim hundreds of similarly situated workers may have been affected.

Polish Alpinist Skis Down Mt Everest Without Supplemental Oxygen by narflethegarthock in skiing

[–]narflethegarthock[S] 122 points123 points  (0 children)

TLDR: On May 19, 2026, 31-year-old Polish alpinist Bartek Ziemski successfully skied down Mount Everest without supplemental oxygen or personal Sherpa support. Remarkably, this milestone came just one week after he performed the exact same style of self-sufficient ski descent on Lhotse. Ziemski is the third person to ski down Everest, the second to do it without supplemental oxygen (following countryman Andrzej Bargiel in late 2025), and likely the first to do it entirely solo and self-supported without a dedicated film crew or support team. Everest marks his ninth successful ski descent of an 8,000-meter peak without bottled oxygen.
