K2: The King of Mountains - A Climber's Nightmare

Towering over the Karakoram range, K2 is the second-tallest peak on Earth - but also considered the planet's hardest mountain to climb.
Its summit is 28,251 feet, or 8,611 meters, above sea level, just shy of Mount Everest's height of 29,032 feet.
At least 91 people have died trying to summit K2, putting its death rate around 18%, while Everest's is around 3%, according to estimates from veteran mountaineer and climbing coach Alan Arnette.
Those hoping to reach the summit have to contend with low oxygen levels, haphazard winds, unpredictable snowfall, and a slew of terrain landmarks infamous for being difficult to navigate.

K2 to góra niezwykle piękna i trudna do zdobycia. aby pokonać 8611 m trzeba nie tylko posiadać ogromne umiejętności ale przede wszystkim należy pamiętać że wraz z innymi członkami wyprawy tworzymy jedną całość. 😊. No i ten cudowny lodowiec Baltoro 😊😊😊. Pozdrawiam was z Polski i trzymam za was kciuki! Renata
