Peter Corzilius and four friends skied up Sweden's Kebnekaise mountain, setting up a tent on the south summit about 2,000 meters above sea level to enjoy beer and a sauna. They hauled a 45-kilogram pulka containing the sauna tent and firewood for the unique ascent. The group undertook a challenging eight-hour climb to reach the summit, with some slopes featuring inclines of up to 35 degrees.

According to SVT Nyheter, Peter Corzilius described the effort as very tough, noting they almost had to give everything they had and were very happy upon reaching the top. The exact date and time of the ascent, as well as the specific route taken up Kebnekaise, have not been disclosed. The identities of the other four friends involved and the weather conditions during the climb remain unknown.

It was very tough and we almost had to give everything we had. Some slopes had inclines of up to 35 degrees so we were very happy when we reached the summit.

The friends documented the adventure, though the duration of their stay on the summit has not been confirmed.
