one of the most dangerous peaks on Earth in the 8,000-meter range. To put this in perspective, Mount Everest, the world’s tallest mountain at 8,848 meters (29,028 feet), had been attempted ~11,000 times, and 3,000 climbers had reached its summit (as of 2007).
Although thousands had tried K2, as of 2006 only 249 climbers had reached the summit of K2. More information about one of his adventures can be found
