Piotr Morawski (born December 27, 1976 in Warsaw ; † April 8, 2009 at Dhaulagiri ) was a Polish extreme mountaineer . His greatest achievement was the first winter ascent of Shishapangma in 2005 together with Simone Moro . He died by falling into a crevasse at about 5760  m on Dhaulagiri.

Eight-thousand-meter ascent

In total, Morawski was able to reach the summit of an eight-thousander six times . He was a regular mountain partner of Peter Hámor and Piotr Pustelnik . The “ Three Peters ” (German: “Drei Peter”) tried mostly to get to the highest mountains in the world via little-used or new routes.

After Shishapangma he reached the summit of Cho Oyu and Broad Peak , as well as the eastern summit of Annapurna in 2006 . At Broad Peak, he first had to break off his summit to help members of an Austrian expedition in need of mountains . Sepp Bachmair was saved; for Markus Kronthaler , any help came too late. Two days later, Morawski nevertheless reached the summit alone. A year later he climbed the Nanga Parbat over the Diamir flank . In 2008 he succeeded in crossing Gasherbrum I and climbing the neighboring Gasherbrum II .
