  • It is no secret that this year on Everest will go down as one of the deadliest in our history. By July 2022, 310 mountaineers have already lost their lives on the tallest peak in the world, and with 17 dead climbers in 2023 alone, the numbers have significantly increased. Some blame the dangers on global warming, while others seem to attribute the chaos on Everest being directly related to the increase of foot traffic. While the peak is a dream for many mountaineers, it is not without significant risks and challenges. Today we discuss a Hungarian climber, Szilárd Suhajda, that would take the ultimate challenge of trying to conquer Everest, solo. But not before coming face to face with the dangers of the tallest mountain in the world. This is his story….

    I met Szilárd Suhajda On April 2nd last spring.
    On my hike on the famous Lukla to Everest Base Camp trail, on April 2nd, I did summit Nangkartshang Peak (5060 m), the popular acclimatisation peak above Dingboche.
    When I reach the summit, in the fog , gusty wind, and Themperature of -15. just one person was there, sitting on a rock, with a brilliant-red jacket, with sponsors's batches, and Hungarian Flag on the arm.
    We say hello, and start talking about common interest of mountains: Italian Alps (where I live and hike) where he go training for climbing on ice falls. He told me he was first Hungarian on K2, and this year will make his third attempt to Everest. He told me he climb with alpine style (no porter and no oxygen) and he appreciate I have same hiking style: alone, with no porter/no guide.
    We stay on the top chatting in the cold, for a couple of hours, then the clouds open up like curtains displaying Ama Dablam in his magnificence, under sunset colors.
    Starting descend, Szilárd greeted me with > I agreed, and he start running down.
    I was slower. Last image I have of him, is Szilárd running down the hill, happy like a child,.. with the roofs of Dingboche down in the distance.
    Since, I did follow his Everest attempt on the news, and he going missing deeply touched me.
    It was a privilege to have meet Szilárd even if only for short.
    RIP.

    Some factual corrections: Farrar met Szilard around 07:30 at about 8450m. He called his wife then who followed his progress from home and he was feeling good, no tricks of his mind as you say here. His voice might have sounded tired to anybody who did not know him and never heard him speak. His throat was not 100%. Your comment about his energy levels is not confirmed. He did not say anything like this to anybody. Fact is he was slow, but not slower than on K2 and he explicitly said he was feeling great. Somebody who is feeling bad does not take photos of oxygen bottles (that is what he was doing on Farrar's photo). 6 hours later it was 13:30, Szilard was at 8630m according to his GPS device, and according to Saikaly's report, it was about that time when he met him, so not 4 PM. At 4 PM there was nobody else on the mountain above 8400 metres but Szilard alone. At 13:30 it was the last time when Szilard called his wife (I was there with his wife during the summit push and the next days during the rescue attempt so I know the events). We were not able to establish contact with him any more, only got 2 GPS points, the last one at 19:30 from 8795m (Hillary Step).
    Szilard did not take a rucksack because nobody takes bivouac gear for a summit push on 8000ers from the last camp. You plan to summit and get back to at least the highest camp. Since he did not use oxygen he did not need a rucksack. This was his strategy to limit extra weight he had to carry. He had a mesh west under his down suite (like those that trailrunners use), 2 litres of water in its pocket, gels and bars.
    Yet he was climbing alone, so had no teammates, but on mountains like Everest you cannot call this a solo climb because there are hundreds of others on the route, which is prepared with fixed ropes and there is a trail in the snow. He was well prepared technically and physically. Although he had a way later turnback point than the casual "rule" of thumb and yes he was determined, but everybody trusted him to be able to make the right call when necessary. Unfortunately, he went too far.

      Exactly - do not listen to idiots here pointing out guys "mistakes". I also plan on doing my 8000er with clothing only - down suit. I seen climbers on other mountains do it as well. The backpack really is slowing you down up high. Having water on you is much easier than in a backpack.
      Correct - it is difficult to say its a true solo when you have 100s of people and fixed ropes - also they said he "more or less" followed the route - no he followed the route.
      As far as going "too far" it is super difficult to say when you go too far - unless you are a climber you do not know this. I.e. many. many people went too far with tons of experience and many more will. It is soo hard to be able to tell.
      In order to get to the top you need to PUSH. The trick is to figure out when it is too much. But you are pushing so hard you may loose that ability.
      He was a stronger climber than me - there is no way I could do Everest or K2 without oxygen. I am not that strong.

Again, nothing but hubris to make ones first climb without a sherpa or any other guide.

      Just so you know climbing with oxygen is WAY, WAY easier then without oxygen. Depending on how much you open the bottles you may have partial pressure at rest say sleeping in your tent at south col feel like 3500m. When climbing the effects can make it feel like 7000m.

In a different matter, one reads regularly about unqualified climbers -- the equivalent of, well, me -- buying their way onto the mountain and only climbing with the significant aid of others. Having to wait to summit behind a rush-hour jam of others only makes the already critical descent more deadly. Sorry for stating the obvious.

    On the story itself, I wish climbers of Everest were vetted more thoroughly. I believe Szilárd would have been given a license anyways as an experienced climber but would not have had the difficulty of having to find a path less travelled to avoid the long lines...
    I also wish Szilárd took a partner with him. I understand the drive to summit without O and Sherpa help, but having a climbing partner reduces the risk of making poor decisions... He climbed K2 with a partner, and although his partner did not summit, he was someone waiting down in a lower camp for him, knowing where he was and being someone closeby to return to. If he had someone like that on Everest, maybe he'd turned back.

His partner was on the radio then but he was anything but anybody to return to. Szilard had his family to return to, it wasn't the distance that made any difference. He would not have turned back if he had anybody in BC on Everest. The day was just too gorgeuos to let go. An exprienced guide on the mountain asked him to turn back and he did not. There is no point to wonder what could have been. Nobody could have changed the outcome but himself.

    Another great vid, thanks for posting. It may sound attractive, for some companies to offer all relevant training to climb the highest of mountains, Everest; and with no previous experience. But surely, nothing can compare, to the gradual experience, built up over several years of mountaineering trips. The sort of experience necessary, to read the conditions, which saves lives.

    Regarding the mountain of trash that has accumulated along the summit routes of Mt. Everest. It would make sense to call a two year, at least, ban on summit climbs. Instead, any and all contractors be assigned by lottery, sections of the climb routes to collect trash. Once collected, the trash would be brought down to be processed disposed of at a local government site.

    I’m not a climber but I’m fascinated with it. Why do they consider it a great accomplishment to climb Mt Everest when they have numerous sherpas to carry their gear and drag them up and then back down from the summit? The Sherpas go through and put in ropes and ladders for their clients. When there is a solid line up the mountain, although still deadly it’s only a step above a ride at Disney World. This guy was climbing for real!

    A little help: his name is not Suhajda, that's his Family name. His name is Szilárd, pronounce it with an S letter like Silard. Because in hungarian SZ is S in english but S in hungarian is not like in english that's an "Ash" sound , and H is also not how we say in hungarian but like The first letter in thw word "Hike" so his family name is S ( like "ash") , U , H (like the first letter of Hike or Hiking), A , J like Y "yeah", D, A.

      The vast majority of that trash was carried onto the mountain by Sherpas. Interesting how they carry no blame for it.
