Kurtyka is also very famous for the first ascent of Gasherbrum IV westface with Robert Schauer in 1985. Although G IV lacks 75 meters to be among the 8000ers, this achievement should be mentioned somewhere.


REQUEST (to users experienced in editing in English and mountaineering)

Concerns: entry Wojciech Kurtyka

The article was widened (circa 6 times) with much longer lists of ascents, references and bibliography (especially in English). Among others, of course, ascent of famous Gasherbrum IV face was added, with significant sources (Climbing magazine in 2000 selected this climb as one of a couple bests Himalayan climbs of whole XX century). The names of mountains , climbers, the directions of walls, sources I checked carefully with relevant sources. However, because I am not a native speaker, please check/edit the text to make it "really English" (more "readible").

Thank you.
