How are steep and difficult mountains like K2, Annapurna, Jannu climbed for the first time without ropes, ladders and harnesses from above for support?

They weren’t summited. (without gear)
They were only summited until basic gear would allow it. We “discovered” steel in the 1300’s
We didn’t summit most of these mountains until the 1900’s
Most if not all things you listed were used to summit the mountains.
Correct me if I’m wrong. Climbing some of the mountain is not summiting. – Have you heard of people summiting without this gear?
