You're a 100% correct. And that really goes for any elevation. I am "just" a hiker who has been on somewhat big hikes and downhill is always most treacherous
Abruzzi an Italian had climbed K2 in 1954.In 1990s a delegation of Abruzzi team came to Shigar to celebrate Golden Jubilee of k2.They decided to built a school in shigar for the children of Shigar which name is Abruzzi located in Sainkhor markunja Shigar.I studied 6 years of my life in that school from five standard to ten standard.

K2 and 3 other 8000 ranges mountains are in Shigar Pakistan.I belong to this beautiful valley Shigar.I never went at k2 base camp but one day I will definitely go there (Inshallah).I love these hardworking porters of Shigar who carry more than 35 kg weight from Askoli to K2 base camp more than 90 km to make both end meet.. I love K2 ,Gharashabrum 1,grashabum2 ,grashabrum 3 ,4 and broadpeak and all the hardworking porters. ❤️
So much love from Canada to the brave and hardworking porters, who never get the respect or money that they deserve. They need to charge 10 times as much, or more. Love to them all! ❤❤❤
I attempted K2 alone in 2014, weather conditions were perfect but I returned from house's chimney just below the camp II as I was scared to go further🤣🤣 anyways I took 3 brothers from Askole to Concordia and eldest one was Hassan Jan he had seven children on my return I went his home and saw poverty and climate challenges he and his whole family was dealing with.

Amazing to see Kurt Diemberger, him and Hermann Buhl are the only two men who made the first ascent of two 8000ers. They are both from Austria. Kurt Diemberger survived the 1986 K2 disaster and is still alive, he was 89 at the time of this writing.
Another odd one.. Japan of all places has some of the best mountaineers around. Their teams summit first and in awful conditions. They are shy and don’t interact with other teams so don’t get as much credit but damn.. Japan loves climbing and they are damn good at it.
Ive seen Everest and K-2 docs all week and more. This one gave the feeling of the struggle involved very well. I find myself taking deep breaths throughout.
Sir Edmund put tremendous effort in helping the Sherpa. Hopefully some climber(s) will step up for the Pakistanis someday. Desperate poverty we can't even imagine. God bless and protect all, climbers porters and support staff
We hear so much negativity when Pakistan is in the news. I’ve just watched an upload from a Nanga Parbat climb and an Italian female with Serge Minote and Ali Sadpara who died not long ago. She said what I just wrote and then said how wonderful the people are. The media has so much to answer for. Like glorifying gangster behaviour which has turned out so many kids onto a bad journey. Is that the most irrelevant reply ever!!!
@@jamisbillson4872 the negativity is well deserved. For example, men digging up corpses to gang rape has become such an issue that grieving families are now locking graves of their deceased females with locked iron grilles. Last year 17 men were charged for gang raping the corpse of a physically and mentally disabled teenager. It's a sick society.

Everest isn’t as hard as it used to be. Sherpas do the carrying for people. People who have never climbed a mountain before are reaching the summit. Even groups of kids. You don’t need to have any ropes knowledge, no knowledge of real alpinism, no skill. You just need the money for the permit, the equipment/food and the expedition company package...

K2 Historically known as the world's most difficult , most dangerous mountain to climb , remains to this day the most iconic mountain known to humanity
"...the next morning, the mission is to get higher...." What a coincidence! That's exactly my mission as I watch this in 2022 from the warm comfort of my ergonomic gaming chair.
What year was this expedition? ... there were no summits on K2 in 2009 & 2010...K2 is the toughest and most difficult mountain, but acts as a magnet for hardcore skilled mountaineers... good job on summiting and most of all, great job on coming back alive! RIP for the two climbers that didn't make down.
+N1CY ..........This is a longer version of the "Shared Summits" video of 2,3, 4 years ago where they had each episode at about 3 minutes. The exact same expedition. Put in "Shared Summits" episode 48, episode 49, episode 50 on youtube....................kinda pisses me off. I thought it was a new video. Redundant.
@Zoë Lkjsdhf correction. Annapurna ONE kills the highest percentage of climbers who attempt it. There are five Annapurna peaks and you _have_ to specify the correct one.
GORGEOUS!! Thank you!! Always wanted to do higher climbing but man, avalanches would make me shit my pants. Skied last 35 years in a lot of different places and I've actually never seen an avalanche in person. Watching alpine climbing vids though I see them often, would not be fun! Going to take a vacation this year and go to do some hiking, should be fun! Stay safe out there! That serac is ridiculous. Could NOT do it! 😂
I live in avalanche area. Skiing at Grand Targhee is awesome powder skiing. Now I just stay on the slopes of the ski area because I'm not as young as I use to be and have gotten wiser. The highway going to Targhee is scary enough.
Hey, Reason! So I’m getting back into climbing after being away for about 15yrs. I used to do a lot of both technical and alpine climbing. I wouldn’t call my previous summits HIGH altitude, whatsoever: Rainier, Whitney, Denali. And despite all those being above 3mi above sea level and glaciated, I never experienced an avalanche. Now, I’ve been in crevasses! They’re gorgeous!!!! And bottomless!!!! But that was just training - not being ‘swallowed’ by a monster you didn’t see-THAT would be scary!!! But yeah, the mountains I’ve climbed were extremely easy and my vo2max and cardio are very similar to my 20s… just need adequate acclimatization for the REALLY big ones
This year most of the initial summit attempts failed due to heavy snow above camp 4, but then there was a great weather window during which most of the teams summited. One team by mingma summited broadpead and g2 after coming back from k2 camp 4 within a single weak, that was impressive to witness. A good year overall
@mike A Glaciers are still melting though, like on Baltoro Glacier is literally melting as you are on it. besides mountains are still gonna be there, just no humans to see them.
It is difficult than Everest. So is Nanga Parvat, Annapurna. These peaks are for technical climbers and not for someone who has money and goes to Everest to prove a point. These peaks are beautiful and great and only allows the great ones to climb. The most dangerous mountain is the mountain of Ego. Evryone has one but noone wants to climb it. 😁
@@GBisht111 I don't think you're saying that every tourist climber has a "..point to prove..". I believe many people, some wealthy and after success financially, find themselves unchallenged or spiritually hungry. Mountain climbing is a sport with as much ego per participant than any other. Possibly more. No doubt many yearn for the glory and IG photo from a summit. It's a shame that many attempt it without the prerequisite experience and are maimed or killed because of it. They don't even know enough to question their guides when there may be more risk than they're prepared for. The Pittman woman on Everest in 1996 comes to my mind when I read your statement though. True enough it applies to some.
The odds of arresting a fall into a crevasse deep enough to kill by having the trailing partner pulled into very shallow crevasse are almost astronomical. Crazy. As if there weren’t enough other ways that mountain could kill ya... When it does to this kind of mountain climbing, I’m definitely an “I’ll catch the movie” type of guy. Ridiculous.
Truer words ever said. I grew up in northern Quebec, Ste Agathe. 40 below at night with single pain windows and landlord would not turn heat past 68 which felt more like 62. We wore lots of layers and going to school in January/feb was a trip !
Watching this, I can understand why so many people say that Everest is commercialized (not that it really trivializes the hike) - no support, camps aren't already set up and waiting for them, not even flags or markers to show where previous climbers managed to set up camp.
@Moon Light It will be my honor to do it friend. I could brag about it forever. So many stories to tell but dont ask me about other things cause i dont know shieeet.
The mountain rarely kills. The weather ON the mountain kills. (With an occasional assist from overconfidence and lack of preparation on the part of the mountaineers.)
People who are suggesting that Annapurna is more deadlier than K2 should know that K2 is one single mountain and Annapurna is a 55 KM long Massif that includes one peak over 8000 meters, thirteen peaks over 7000 meters and 16 peaks over 6000 Meters. It's unfair to K2 to compare it with a range of mountains and the total fatalities that occurred on it. Real mountaineers and climbers always consider K2 to be the real prize.
@Jon Davis you did huh? Sounds like a grandiose lie. What's your real name? Six time summitters are recorded so your claim is easy to prove or disprove
@Jon Davis I have my doubts. No Jon Davis has submitted Everest six times, and it's easily verified. There are ample sources which have records of the lists of Everest summitters, so if your name really is Jon Davis, then you're lying. There hasn't even been a Jon who summitted Everest six times brother...
Foyorama OU812 are you stupid or what? ... I was pointing out that someone in the film actually SAID those words ... that's what the QUOTATION MARKS indicated genius.
if climbing a mountain was fun and safe, everyone would do it. The feeling you get when reaching the top is probably insane, despite the fact you are exhausted. But not many people can say, hey i climbed mount everest, or k2. Thats what makes it exciting
That's the problem. None of these rich, arrogant, self-important, annoying fucks would climb it without these Sherpas risking their lives because they need the money. If it was just these dipshits risking their boring, empty lives I'd be ok with it, but when these poor Sherpas die, I have big issues with it.
Respect Gentlemen! 1 year to go and I will be climbing Everest with my battle buddies. I don't know if I will make it K2, 1 mountain at a time.Jai less, stay safe
@@3vimages471 no you fuck off. You're going to pay 12 $ for a man risking his life for some idiots adventure? Piss the fuck off. This dude is on $12 a day climbing a mountain for these shitheads WITH their gear AND summiting with them? I'm WAYYYY more interested in the sherpa than these shitheads.
@@XenRA You don't even know what a Sherpa is to dumb fuck. Sherpas are a people and they don't live in the Karakorum, Himalaya where K2 is. And they are not porters. Those Pakistani porters were delighted to get the job for $12 a day. You haven't stepped a foot in the Nepali Himalaya where the Sherpa people live. So shut up you backward moron ... listen and learn something before opening your moronic mouth.
I really hate the over dramatic narrating in most American documentaries, its like they don't think people will be interested if they don't add this obnoxious ingredient, bad ass climbers thou.
the narration emphasises the dangers otherwise if you just let these climbers talk they just make it seem like a stroll in the park, "oh a crevice opened up, we're alive, cool, lets go"
@@profd65 That was a stupid answer to a stupid comment. You're both wrong. Every country has it's pros and cons. Why fight like 2 children about something that is irrelevant? None of us have any say about the country we are born in. Djeezz... 😑 🙄
32.25 looks like a mans face and part body etched into mountain looking upwards. Really beautiful place to be but say that can quickly change to an eerie or ghostly feeling. Respect to anyone who attempts to go so high
You may have the wrong mountain, Siobahn. Could the hero you’re referring to be Anatoli Boukreev, and the “John” be John Krakauer? Both those men were involved in the 1996 Everest disaster. A comment meant for a different video, I guess?
Sorry for your loss. He is remembered forever by everybody who watches this video and reads about K2 2007. I admire and respect all Sherpas and their dedication and hard work. I hope you are healthy and happy
reading about the descent: was not a pleasant trip. amongst other bad things, Don Bowie lost his crampons, slipped and fell 50m breaking his leg and had to somehow get himself down to somewhere he could be rescued. this was not mentioned in this documentary at all(?)
Reinhold Messner, the greatest mountaineer in the world climbed and summited all 14 eight thousanders without using any supplemental oxygen! No one better than him.
Just crazy K2 takes real hard core guts to summit that mountain unlike Everest there is no one setting up ladders and ropes for you and carrying your O2 bottles K2 separates the real mountaineers from the hikers. I have done some climbing in the Rockys but nothing I mean nothing like K2 . To summit K2 is the real mark of a mountaineer.

@@frankwoodward9914 yes and no. There have been a ton of solo climbs... some with and without oxygen. My feeling is that Everest just gets the most attention because it's the tallest and so many people have climbed it. Sure, it's not as technically difficult but sheesh..... I wish I could do it
Snowed in for a couple days, have to turn around to go back to base camp, when you get to Base camp camp the weather clears up. You resupply, head back up and boom Another snow storm and back to base camp.
@@SF-fb6lv wow amazing. I didn't watch the whole thing so I will say my bad. Thanks for the heads up. It certainly is much harder without oxygen. A big thumbs up to those guys.
Thats too bad a couple climbers were lost and they decided to not film anything on way down or their arrival back and hide one of their climbers lost his life on way down. God bless him. What an incredible and talented, perservering team of climbers! Wow! Almost a full success but a couple lives were lost unfortunately.
42:27: "In moments they will stand 28,251 ft above sea level" Sounds really intense until you realize that they are already at roughly 28,045 ft above sea level, lol

In my dream I am just there on the summit with no terrible ascent or descent to worry about.
I'm going to bed now probably in dreams I'll fall into a crevasse 😲
2019. more than 100 permits for K2 issued. more than 30 successful summits, no deaths
This year most of the initial summit attempts failed due to heavy snow above camp 4, but then there was a great weather window during which most of the teams summited. One team by mingma summited broadpead and g2 after coming back from k2 camp 4 within a single weak, that was impressive to witness. A good year overall
@mike A Glaciers are still melting though, like on Baltoro Glacier is literally melting as you are on it. besides mountains are still gonna be there, just no humans to see them.
@@MuhammadKamran-zv9qp Mingma is a beast!
30 people in the world - that’s still extremely low. No deaths though - that’s good, I like it
Where did you get this info??
The hardest mountain to climb is the one you're on.
or your mom
@@pizzaente
Easy climb!
My wife??
Naw K2 is still harder than the 1000 footers i climb
Glad you all made it. Looks more difficult than Everest
It is difficult than Everest. So is Nanga Parvat, Annapurna. These peaks are for technical climbers and not for someone who has money and goes to Everest to prove a point. These peaks are beautiful and great and only allows the great ones to climb. The most dangerous mountain is the mountain of Ego. Evryone has one but noone wants to climb it. 😁
@@GBisht111 Last sentence was amazing, well done.
@@GBisht111 I don't think you're saying that every tourist climber has a
"..point to prove..".
I believe many people, some wealthy and after success financially, find themselves unchallenged or spiritually hungry. Mountain climbing is a sport with as much ego per participant than any other. Possibly more. No doubt many yearn for the glory and IG photo from a summit.
It's a shame that many attempt it without the prerequisite experience and are maimed or killed because of it.
They don't even know enough to question their guides when there may be more risk than they're prepared for.
The Pittman woman on Everest in 1996 comes to my mind when I read your statement though.
True enough it applies to some.
The odds of arresting a fall into a crevasse deep enough to kill by having the trailing partner pulled into very shallow crevasse are almost astronomical. Crazy. As if there weren’t enough other ways that mountain could kill ya... When it does to this kind of mountain climbing, I’m definitely an “I’ll catch the movie” type of guy. Ridiculous.
What you all miss is how amazing the camera crew are.
I watch these docs to remind me of why I turned from mountaineering to pure rock climbing :)
And I do both but enjoy mountaineering more. Although I'd never want to attempt any 8,000m peaks. I'll stick to the 5000m and maybe some 6000's.
@@AmyAnnLand Be careful. I lost a lot of friends too early to alpinism.

Truer words ever said. I grew up in northern Quebec, Ste Agathe. 40 below at night with single pain windows and landlord would not turn heat past 68 which felt more like 62. We wore lots of layers and going to school in January/feb was a trip !
@@strattonskier7229 Ug.
Watching this, I can understand why so many people say that Everest is commercialized (not that it really trivializes the hike) - no support, camps aren't already set up and waiting for them, not even flags or markers to show where previous climbers managed to set up camp.
If you want to impress people climb Everest🙂
If you want to impress mountaineers then climb K2🔥
Or if you're not concerned about impressing ppl but simply want a huge personal challenge and sense of accomplishment.
@Moon Light Fuck me man , im climbing Everest tomorrow !!!
@Moon Light It will be my honor to do it friend. I could brag about it forever. So many stories to tell but dont ask me about other things cause i dont know shieeet.
Hero's.....hard to find words, just unbelievable tremendous people, I salute you all and all those that tried, you are all amazing
The mountain rarely kills. The weather ON the mountain kills. (With an occasional assist from overconfidence and lack of preparation on the part of the mountaineers.)
I was hoping this will give me some inspiration to get up and make a coffee.
Did it work? I hope so its been a week 🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
awesome guys! Takes a lot to do without bottled oxygen and sherpa
I was thinking the same thing. Really amazing climb!
Content itself amazes me but editing parts like soundtrack and narrator kept pulling me off from the pleasure yo wacht It..
Mount averest is QUEEN and K2 is the king of mountains
this is the best documentary I've ever seen about climbing K2 👍
Wrong
@@Peto111222 He said the best one he's ever seen... Not the best one ever.
Then you're easily pleased and dont know what quality is.
This is Unreal watching this. You have to be crazy to do this. O M G ! !
Michael Ladd I know Eh
I know for a fact I haven’t got the right stuff to put myself in that situation but it’s compelling watching people who do
People who are suggesting that Annapurna is more deadlier than K2 should know that K2 is one single mountain and Annapurna is a 55 KM long Massif that includes one peak over 8000 meters, thirteen peaks over 7000 meters and 16 peaks over 6000 Meters. It's unfair to K2 to compare it with a range of mountains and the total fatalities that occurred on it. Real mountaineers and climbers always consider K2 to be the real prize.
@Jon Davis you did huh? Sounds like a grandiose lie.
What's your real name? Six time summitters are recorded so your claim is easy to prove or disprove
@Jon Davis i climbed it 6 times in 1 week, never gave me a challenge... fucking twat...
@Jon Davis I have my doubts. No Jon Davis has submitted Everest six times, and it's easily verified. There are ample sources which have records of the lists of Everest summitters, so if your name really is Jon Davis, then you're lying.
There hasn't even been a Jon who summitted Everest six times brother...
@Jon Davis 🤣🤣🤣 at least you're original
@Jon Davis by reading, or googling.
Just give up mate. We all know you're a liar.
Great respect for the sacrifice, energy, courage, to all.
But people always respect the mountain
17:44 This is where you connect to the wild nature and enjoy the majestic vibes of the emperor K2.
Good job, good job. What a team, what a team!
Yep! K2 is steep af!!!!! I can’t wait!!!!!
Amazing documentary.
" ...the 7 day trek to base camp takes about a week?" ... no shit.
I spent a month on that trek one weekend.
7 days = one week.....Mark thank you for clearing that up...
Foyorama OU812 are you stupid or what? ... I was pointing out that someone in the film actually SAID those words ... that's what the QUOTATION MARKS indicated genius.
Thanks captain obvious!
...
So crazy yet so cool anybody that even try’s is a truly amazing person I think
if climbing a mountain was fun and safe, everyone would do it. The feeling you get when reaching the top is probably insane, despite the fact you are exhausted. But not many people can say, hey i climbed mount everest, or k2. Thats what makes it exciting
Many say they have an empty feeling after the Everest descent. Not so with K2.
RICK: cause you know shit gets real when you try to descend k-2 xD
@@blakeneumeister4915 ten out of ten for observation.
The lady said that in the beginning of this video.
That's the problem. None of these rich, arrogant, self-important, annoying fucks would climb it without these Sherpas risking their lives because they need the money. If it was just these dipshits risking their boring, empty lives I'd be ok with it, but when these poor Sherpas die, I have big issues with it.
@@blakeneumeister4915 no one says that wtf
Very good and professional climbers without oxygen compared to many mountain tourists

I really hate the over dramatic narrating in most American documentaries, its like they don't think people will be interested if they don't add this obnoxious ingredient, bad ass climbers thou.
the narration emphasises the dangers otherwise if you just let these climbers talk they just make it seem like a stroll in the park, "oh a crevice opened up, we're alive, cool, lets go"
Then don't watch American documentaries. Doesn't your own garbage, irrelevant country make documentaries?

The best K2 documentary I have seen.
I'm an Advanced Tri-mix SCUBA (diver and do icediving in the winter) and did a Tandem skydive but have NO desire to do mountain climbing!
All for one, one for all.Go team.
32.25 looks like a mans face and part body etched into mountain looking upwards. Really beautiful place to be but say that can quickly change to an eerie or ghostly feeling. Respect to anyone who attempts to go so high
A true legend . He went out twice in that storm to bring back the team mate's of John . A hero in my book
Who?
You may have the wrong mountain, Siobahn. Could the hero you’re referring to be Anatoli Boukreev, and the “John” be John Krakauer? Both those men were involved in the 1996 Everest disaster. A comment meant for a different video, I guess?
Absolutely badass... I cannot even imagine having such big balls... Like wow. Impressive
looking nice but hardest to climb .... This is BEAUTIFUL and REAL PAKISTAN GUYS ... Love Pakistan .....
Real Pakistan is religious bigotry and misogyny.
Oh I forgot... Its also raping and murdering tourists
Salute to these men courage. They did it without oxygen supplement. At first i was extremely excited to observe the eastern route.
My brothers was lost in K2 in 2007...
May his soul rest in eternal peace.
Respect form 🇵🇰
Very sorry for your loss. Sherpas are the real heroes. May your brother Rest In Peace 🇳🇵☸️
Sorry for your loss. He is remembered forever by everybody who watches this video and reads about K2 2007. I admire and respect all Sherpas and their dedication and hard work. I hope you are healthy and happy
Rip
I hope your brothers spirit soar`s higher than any mountain in this world,peace to all of you..
Love watching from the Caribbean
reading about the descent: was not a pleasant trip. amongst other bad things, Don Bowie lost his crampons, slipped and fell 50m breaking his leg and had to somehow get himself down to somewhere he could be rescued. this was not mentioned in this documentary at all(?)
Fell 50 metres. You mean he fell 150 ft and survived. I doubt anyone would survive a 150 ft fall. So that cant possibly be right.
You guys did amazing thank you for being able to watch from home
"the 7 day, 65 mile hike takes a week" oh shit i thought a week was 10 days thanks for clearing that up
Hahaha🤣
I was looking to see this!!! Hahaha!!
🤣🤣🤣
What do you expect from an American documentary... The most dumbed down nation on earth... A nation that picks reality tv stars to lead their country.
I live in Georgia and I’m freezing thinking about this K2 mountain stuff!!!
The first 40 seconds of this is chilling!
lol, the rest.. calm as sipping tea with the queen😂
Whole thing looks chilling to me!
Reinhold Messner, the greatest mountaineer in the world climbed and summited all 14 eight thousanders without using any supplemental oxygen! No one better than him.

you have set a class A+++++
Glad to see my Hometown Shigar. ❤️
Simply amazing
Amazing, great struggle n great achievement.
Just crazy K2 takes real hard core guts to summit that mountain unlike Everest there is no one setting up ladders and ropes for you and carrying your O2 bottles K2 separates the real mountaineers from the hikers. I have done some climbing in the Rockys but nothing I mean nothing like K2 . To summit K2 is the real mark of a mountaineer.
So true! I climb here in Wyoming. My goal is Garret Mountain.
@@wyomingadventures well have fun and play safe
@ I dont mean Everest is not a hard mountain to clime but the people get all kinds of help doing it unlike K2
@ Many people lose there whole toe let a lone there toenails
@@frankwoodward9914 yes and no. There have been a ton of solo climbs... some with and without oxygen. My feeling is that Everest just gets the most attention because it's the tallest and so many people have climbed it. Sure, it's not as technically difficult but sheesh..... I wish I could do it
Snowed in for a couple days, have to turn around to go back to base camp, when you get to Base camp camp the weather clears up.
You resupply, head back up and boom Another snow storm and back to base camp.
How frustrating. When did you make the trip?
Also. Go Ducks!
why have they added that bird chirp to the sound track
I believe this is because they recorded the commentary near birds.
@@ClickClack_Bam thanks I never thought of that 4 years ago. I'm watching the video again to remind myself what I was on about.
Before the commercial break cuts, it sounds like he’s saying, “Next on The Cheap World of Adventure Sports.”
These guys did it without Os. Way MORE amazing.
What are you talking about? They used oxygen.
@@jonlaroche5239I watched the whole thing. No masks. No supplemental oxygen in tanks carried with them.
@@SF-fb6lv wow amazing. I didn't watch the whole thing so I will say my bad. Thanks for the heads up. It certainly is much harder without oxygen. A big thumbs up to those guys.
Thats too bad a couple climbers were lost and they decided to not film anything on way down or their arrival back and hide one of their climbers lost his life on way down. God bless him. What an incredible and talented, perservering team of climbers! Wow! Almost a full success but a couple lives were lost unfortunately.
42:27: "In moments they will stand 28,251 ft above sea level"
Sounds really intense until you realize that they are already at roughly 28,045 ft above sea level, lol
