- When it comes to the highest mountain of the world, you know the answer: Mount Everest. But when it comes to the dangerous and harder one, it's not Everest but K2. Compared to K2, Everest is literally a trek to the summit.
At 8,611 meters, K2 is the globe’s second highest mountain. In this video, I have explained five reasons why K2 is more dangerous than Everest.

Excellent video! I am never going to climb a mountain, but fascinated by it all.
I just finished reading the K2 book by Ed Viesturs. Your pictures of places mentioned in his book were a lot of help in visualizing the climb! Thanks!
Factual and loved this 😊
K2 already looks terrifying before i even started to watch this!
I climbed both in the same year. Summer of 06
I like your channel. As someone who has gone to K2 base camp and camp one you are totally correct. Just the trek to its base camp is epic. Trango towers and all. Karakorams are so remote and 400 miles north of nepals Himalayas. That’s the allure and much sharper. Do you know you can find bodies on Everest. Only broken fragments on K2 as it’s Sharp like a butchers knife.
Also consider Everest's giant neighbor, Mount Lhotse. The south and east faces are supposedly even more difficult and dangerous than K2. You rarely ever hear of anyone climbing Lhotse from those routes.
I think that if I would go to K2, the trek there would be enough for me. I'm good with just looking at it without having to breath a tank of O2.
Really enjoying these videos. Simple and informative. I do think, because of the numbers that have reached the top of Everest, we down play slightly the achievement of reaching the summit. It certainly isn't easy i'm sure. K2, however, is on a completely different level. Thank you for your hard work doing these videos.
You're my favorite high altitude climbing channel on RUclips. Keep up the great job 👍 👏 🙌!
Thanks
I guess counterpoint is that Everest is more dangerous because it attracts the kind (and quantity) of climbers that become a danger to the effort for everybody. Waiting in line at a traffic jam with brains swelling from altitude sickness is only a danger on Everest.
Thank you for a very informative video. About climbing mountains; is it really "because it is there?" ... or is it vanity?
I flared way early on a landing from a skydiving jump. I was still a young jumper and I panicked. Dropped about 40 feet straight down.
That’s all. 40 feet … spent 7 months in the hospital.
These people fall hundreds of feet and sometimes live throughout the fall and the landing only to die of exposure before someone can get them down. Imagine that pain.
Salute to the mountain warriors. Y’all a little nuts but I’m here for it…. By RUclips that is. Won’t find me near snow intentionally
Thank you for posting this interesting video
K2 is a beast ❤
If K2 is that dangerous can't imagine how bad K1 is.
😂
There are still immensely dangerous routes up Everest. The issue is that the majority of climbers have no interest in trying them.
Everest is Disney and K2 is six flags. You go to K2 for the wilder rides.
love this
Anyone Watched K2 movie (1991 or 1992 movie) watched it every day as a child...my obsession
K2 is a foreboding mountain for certain!
Beautiful video, but I really wonder why people would climb a mountain like K2... 🤷♀️
I don't understand them waiting to be there knowing it's a outhouse without the house ! They said it's human waste all over !
Rich people go up Everest real climbers do K2
I would love to see those mountains from 5000m of height (or where last big base camp is) it must be awesome views even far drom death zone...
One more thing even if everest is "tourist mountain" you have to be in a great condition and have a lots of mountain experiences..its not everyone who has money can go there on a 6 month note...years, decades of dedication is needed even for a "tourist hike" on Everest...but they have bad reputation because they leave everything behind, tents and everything they don't need and parts of it are trash vollevtor sites
I have a friend who went on a "tourist hike" to Everest Base Camp. Before she left (from Canada) she trained for about 4-5 months doing not particularly difficult or long hikes. She was overweight then and still is. She's not terribly fat, but she's never been athletic, nor does she have ambitions to be. This clearly did not hinder her and did not have any negative effects on her general condition while she was there. She later described the base camp to me as a "disgusting place" - overcrowded, dirty and noisy, someone had even stolen her neighbour's camera from her tent and a pair of underwear. She has money, but I don't think anyone would bother to get her anywhere above base camp for any amount, and she's not suicidal either.
🙏☺️
You actually need some mountaineering skills to climb k2 compared to Everest, who would have thought...............
It's hardly a walk n th park summiting Everest, maybe you've watch too much RUclips sunshine ?
@@blacksheepdetecting A 13 and a 80 year old have summitted. Almost anyone of good health with 50 grand can do so. They even give ice axe and crampon lessons at base camp... Ridiculous anyone turns up there needing them. It's the Disneyland of 8000ers. K2 is a different sport. Sunshine.
K2 Indian mountain ❤
Yes in dreams
