In 1990, Slovenian mountaineer Tomo Äesen claimed to have scaled the south face of Lhotse, the fourth highest mountain in the world. It was declared the greatest feat ever seen in Himalayan mountaineering, but he warned that he had no photos to prove it. Soon afterward, however, he provided some snapshots â stolen from fellow climbers who had tried to conquer this slope years earlier.
In 2015, French researcher Rodolphe Popier managed to reveal a second lie by the Slovenian: photos taken with a telephoto lens by a friend of Äesenâs were not shot at base camp on the south face of Lhotse but elsewhere.
