K2 EXPEDITION
K2, also known as Chogori, Qogir, Ketu, Kechu, and Mt. Godwin-Austen, stands as the second-
highest mountain in the world at 8,611 meters above sea level. This awe-inspiring peak is renowned for its extreme challenges, earning the title “Savage Mountain” due to the immense difficulty of reaching its summit. The fatality rate among climbers ranks second highest among all peaks exceeding 8,000 meters.Located on the border between Pakistan and China, K2 has been conquered far fewer times than Mount Everest. Climbers primarily ascend from the Pakistan side, where multiple routes exist. Statistics reveal that 78 percent of successful summit attempts occur via the South-Side route. The remaining climbers navigate the North, East, or West Ridge, the Southwest Pillar known as the Magic Line, the South Face referred to as the Polish Line, or the Northwest Face and Ridge.
