  On 19 May a citizen of Iran, an ethnic Azerbaijani,  Azim Geychisaz, subdued  the highest peak of the  Mount Everest without the use of the oxygen mask. This is the second ascent of 34-year-old Azim to Everest. First time in 2005, he reached the summit top oxygen. By 2014, he successfully conquered 13 eight-thousanders without oxygen.

"In the world there are 14 mountain 8000 meters high peaks, and I have won 13 of them, but as I climbed Everest using supplemental oxygen, I am ready to conquer this peak again without supplemental oxygen,"  said the climber agency of Iran on the eve of the ascent .

Geychisaz was born and lives in Tabriz; he is a member of the Iranian national team in mountaineering. Azim is a great friend of the Mountaineering Federation of Azerbaijan and participated in a joint climbing with friends from Baku.

Azim voluntarily refused from the top and helped a sick friend from Azerbaijan.
