Hungarian mountaineer Dávid Klein set off early on Tuesday to summit the Mount Everest without bottled oxygen. Klein told MTI by phone that he is planning to reach Camp 3 in four days and reach the world’s highest peak on May 25.
If Klein succeeds, he will be the first Hungarian to climb the 8,848 metre peak without bottled oxygen. Only around two hundred people in the world have managed to do this so far.
