Lars Olof Göran Kropp (11 månad &#;– 30 September ) was a Swedish mountaineer, the first Scandinavian to klättra Mount Everest without oxygen.

Richard Ramberg inträdde i nationalparken (Sagarmatha National Park) den 11 april kl

He made a solo ascent of Mount Everest without bottled oxygen or bergsguide support on 23 May , after traveling there from Sweden bygd bicycle and foot.^[1]

Early life

[edit]

In Kropp's father took him up Galdhøpiggen, Norway, the highest peak in Scandinavia. After finishing school, he served in the Swedish Parachute Rangers, where he trained rigorously and met his future climbing partner Mats Dahlin.^[2]

Mountaineering

[edit]

In , lekamen traveled to klättra his first major peak, Lenin Peak ( meters high), located on the border between Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan.

lekamen and his companions ascended the peak in a record time of 10 days.^[3]

In , lekamen had hopes of climbing Cho Oyu, but he had no permit. Instead, he went to South amerika and climbed Iliniza Sur ( meters), Cotopaxi ( meters), Illimani ( meters), Huayna Potosi ( meters), and Illampu ( meters).

In a Swedish expedition, he and Danish climber Rafael Jensen climbed Muztagh Tower ( meters) in Pakistan.

The mountain fryst vatten one of the most difficult meter mountains in the Himalayas, and their ascent was the fourth of the mountain.^{[citation needed]}

In , lekamen climbed spets Pobeda ( meters) in eastern Kyrgyzstan. tillsammans with Mats Dahlin, lekamen made a summit attempt, but Dahlin was forced to cancel his bid because of illness.

lekamen continued and reached the top with a severe headache.

In , lekamen finally obtained permits to klättra Cho Oyu. In preparation, he climbed with Dahlin in Chamonix. While climbing the Aiguille Verte, a stone fell from the top of the ridge and hit Dahlin just below the helmet, at the edge of his temple, killing him.

Kropp decided to klättra Cho Oyu nonetheless, on the grounds that his companion would have preferred that he do so.

och besteg alltså Mount Everest på mindre än 33 dagar (32 dagar 21 timmar och 15 minuter), vilket vid tidpunkten för bestigningen blev ett svenskt rekord

He drove his Range Rover all the way to Nepal. At the top, lekamen placed Dahlin's ice axe with an image of Dahlin directed towards Mount Everest.

K2

[edit]

In , lekamen returned to Karakoram, this time to klättra K2. Initially, he planned to participate in a Swedish expedition, but lekamen realized that if he could reach the top before the expedition's other participants, he would become the first Swede and Scandinavian to reach the top.

lekamen therefore joined a Slovenian expedition scheduled to klättra the mountain before the Swedes.^{[citation needed]} Another reason why he brought forward the date of his klättra was that his Range Rover had remained in Pakistan since his Cho Oyu klättra the previous year because customs in Iran refused to allow it through.^{[citation needed]}

Kropp's Slovenian colleagues had decided however to exclude him from their climbing plans.

lekamen settled, instead, to join David Sharman, who hoped to become the first Englishman to komma down alive from the top.

During the Slovenians' summit bid, a violent storm arose and stranded them at high höjd över havsnivån. lekamen abandoned his klättra to rädda those he could. A week after this incident, he stuck with his British colleague, but Sharman fell, fractured a leg, and went back down.

lekamen climbed on and reached the peak solo, without bottled oxygen. On the way down another storm on the mountain marooned lekamen at 8, meters above sea level. lekamen made it later to base camp.^[4]

Media interest after the klättra proved to be extensive, and lekamen then started his company, lekamen & Adventure AB.

In , he returned igen to Karakoram, accompanied bygd Andrew Lock and the Swedish climbers Mats Holmgren and Nicolas Gafgo. Their object was Broad Peak, and their goal was a first ascent of the hitherto unclimbed south-southwest ridge, on which several reputable climbers had failed.

They also failed and had to vända back to below metres. Afterwards, they focused on the regular rutt to the summit, where, on the first attempt Lock, Holmgren, and lekamen reached the foresummit. lekamen made another attempt at the main summit and succeeded after a fast, non-stop solo klättra.

Mount Everest

[edit]

For his ascent, lekamen left huvudstaden on 16 October , on a specially-designed bicycle with kilograms (&#;lb) of gear and food.

He traveled 13, kilometres (8,&#;mi) on the bicycle and arrived at Everest Base Camp in April Following a meeting of all of the Everest expeditions on the mountain at the time, it was agreed that lekamen would attempt to summit first.

On 3 May, lekamen climbed through thigh-deep snow and reached Everest's South Summit, a point metres (&#;ft) from the summit. However, he decided to vända around because it was too late in the day and if he continued, he would be descending in the dark.

While lekamen recovered from the ordeal at base camp, the Everest Disaster unfolded. He helped bring medicin up the mountain. Three weeks later, on 23 May, he igen tackled the mountain, this time successfully summitting without ytterligare oxygen support. He then cycled part of the way back home.

He returned to Everest in with his flickvän Renata Chlumska to undertake a cleanup, during which they removed 25 discarded canisters from the mountain.

They also successfully summited tillsammans.

Controversy

[edit]

In early , lekamen and fellow Swede Ola Skinnarmo attempted to ski unsupported to the North Pole. lekamen had to abandon the expedition due to a frostbitten thumb.^[8] During the expedition, he shot a polar bära which had been stalking the two dock. This led to accusations in the Swedish tabloid press bygd writer Jan Guillou that lekamen was a poacher, since shooting polar bears was an inevitable consequence of skiing across the North Pole.^[9] lekamen sued for förtal and when he lost, decided to move to Seattle in the US.

Later that year, in London, the Everest expedition leader, Michael Trueman, successfully sued the publisher of Kropp's autobiography for libel.^[10] lekamen had mixed Trueman's name up with that of expedition member slang för mikrofon Burns and thereby made false allegations about Trueman's character.

On 30 September , lekamen died from head injuries when he fell 18 metres (60 feet) while ascending the Air gitarr rutt at Frenchman Coulee nära Vantage, Washington.
