K2: The World’s Most DEADLY Mountain to Climb 

How the hell do you only have 2K subscribers, with quality like this? You have another account or something? This is so damn good, and I'm really glad I found your channel. I'll be here for the long run. Trust me.

A friend of mine is still on K2. Died on descent. RIP Bruce Grant.

The fact that its so remote that it had no local name is Savage in itself

I watched a documentary about the guy who climbed all 14 of the 8000m mountains in the same 1 year period which is absolutely crazy 😮😮😮

People underestimate how difficult it is to climb a mountain. Climbed a 2800m mountain in Murree, Pakistan and experienced 2 separate near-death experiences and heck there's a proper trail for climbing that mountain. Can't believe people are brave enough to climb an 8000m mountain. Respect

This is, by far, the best analysis of K2 I've ever seen. I climbed a 14,439 foot (4401 meters) mountain in Colorado. There were three serious moments where I wasn't sure we were going to survive the climb. Much respect to the climbers who brave the 8000 meter peaks. Especially K2. Just looking at it from base camp is intimidating. I just subscribed to your channel. Look forward to more content in the future.

It's because of k2's unrelenting steepness. Only small relief on the shoulder but getting even to that point is a giant accomplishment most seasons. And k2 has very high avalanche danger which has also claimed many lives. Most beautiful mountain in one of the most rugged, beautiful, and remote places on earth.

First of all, I wouldn't say it's "getting better" per say...Mount Everest as literally become a trash dumping place for "mountaineers" and I truly hope that K2 stays more protected than Everest is. Secondly, it's absolutely insane to me after seeing this video how someone like Reinhold Messner did non-oxygen supplemented ascents on these mountains and climbed Everest solo. That man is a legend.

This is some savage quality content. I have zero interest in mountain climbing but I could not stop watch. Amazingly investigated, written, narrated and edited. When I saw your subcount I assumed you had "stolen" the video. My bad, you really deserve hats off - keep it up, instantly subbed!

It’s crazy how project possible was able to do all the 14 including the beast of k2 and Annapurna. This video does an excellent job truly showing how difficult that feat was with an explanation of the rigors of one mountain

Highest I've climbed is 6001m or 19,688ft (Deo Tibba, Himachal Pradesh), which I did at the age of 16. I'm native to the Himalayas myself so high altitude is not a huge problem for me, but having being brought up in the urban side of India, I lack the same stamina as my folks back in Uttarakhand. I could only dream of K2!

Great video. I’ll never climb it (or any mountain for that matter lol) but I will be nearby it at some point on a motorcycle.

When even the locals have no name for such a big mountain, you know it's going to be extremely difficult to climb

When people attempt to summit mountains like K2, what happens to all the supplies used to get there? What happens to ropes, ladders, oxygen tanks, garbage, etc? Just curious if humans are destroying just another place we insist on going. Don't take my question wrong. I admire people with the physical and mental strength to climb and I absolutely love the beauty of the video.

Last year may give climbers the impression K2 has become “easy”. This could be a set up for a disaster.

This video sent me down a bit of a rabbit hole looking for the hardest mountains to climb, after reading a few articles from mountaineering magazines and watching some videos on the subject I found a mountain called 'Ngadi Chuli' - A bit over 200km West from Mt Everest there has been only one confirmed assent (in 1979) to the peak and one unconfirmed (in 1970 - both climbers died in a fall during the decent) No one has even tried to climb it since 2014.

The absolute best description of what to expect when attempting to summit K2! Well done and thank you.

i can't even imagine the feeling of getting to the top after all this effort and then going back down just insane how people can push themselves

I myself climbed the Mt. Everest base camp last year. At 5360m in altitude, the drop is air pressure becomes really apparent, even to the fittest. The temperature at some places dropped to -20 degrees Celsius. And its not like the trek is made easier with comfortable tea houses and all along the way. The accommodations at the top are bare minimal, and toilets are almost non-existent. I still wonder how me and my team of 24 made it from Lukla to the base camp in just 9 days. It is by far the hardest thing I have ever done.

Lovely video and fair descriptions with all the sources. You gained another subscriber.

Ive seen alot of mountaineering videos and this is one of the best. Wish it was longer. Good job

Absolutely magnificent short documentary of this truly awesome mountain. I get goosebumps just looking at it, incredibly beautiful and yet terrifying at the same time. It would be an ultimate dream walking the route to the base camp! You have certainly gained a subscriber, and I have liked and shared this great video! Thanks so much 👏👏

This video was so entertaining!! The editing is amazing. I wish it could have been longer. I could have listened for 40 minutes and longer

Your channel is outstanding you have my sub. You deserve way more hope to see you hit the millions soon.

I live in an area that has many 7-10,000 foot mountains (2-3,000 meters) and I am regularly in and around and on top of them. The storms that can come up are fast and violent. I have extreme respect for the mountains, and can only imagine what these bave people go through. Highest I've ever been was 12,000 feet which feels like nothing in comparison.

This was so good! Thanks for making this man

Best video I have watched for K2. Explicit detailing! Well Done.

This is so good , loved it man !

Fantastic video. Entertaining, informative and kept my attention to the end. Your channel with blow up im sure 👊

Excellent video, hope you find success with this channel in the future!

I'm can safely say that all the recent successful summit attempts were possible only because of guided route that was set up by nims dai and his team back in 2019.

Thanks for the video! I enjoyed K2 mountain from the comfort of my home.

And think about this, the highest mountain in the solar system, Olympus Mons on Mars, stands at 27 km. More than 3 times mt Everest.

This is by far the best K2 explainer video I’ve seen on RU-vid. You should do more videos on the rest of the 8000m peaks. Liked and Subscribed, looking forward for more.

Wow what a powerful video! Loved it!! Can't wait for more!!

That was very enjoyable mate, good work.

Let's hope the foreign climbers treat the K2 sherpas well. Read an article where a Mt. Everest climber was near death and miraculously hauled back by one sherpa to safety. Only for that climber to thank only his sponsors and not the sherpa who literally carried him down the mountain on his back.

Well researched and presented, thank you for posting this interesting video

I opened this video and subscribed starightway. A good channel to come

the best k2 video watched so far. amazing clarity and details.

After reading "Kokou no hito" ( The climber) This video shows the conditions The MC went through

Brilliant video mate. New subscriber ✌🏻

Parabéns Thiago... Muito Importante suas colocações !!!

You deserve far more subs this video is 🔥🔥🔥

K2, like all mountains, doesn't try to kill you. It's more about the fact that it doesn't even deign to admit you exist. The mountain just is. And it's implacable in that "itness" if there is such a word. It's like the great oceans of the world. It's just there and if you intrude the consequences are on your own head.....

Now that I am in awe and curiously terrified, this was an epic explanation.

Great content brother♥️💯

well with such difficulties that you have mentioned, I should stick with my roof top ladder activities.. thanks mate

I live in Islamabad and frequently travel to the mountains in the North. I only wish to reach K2 basecamp someday. Climbing K2 is out of question for me. Just watching the videos send shivers down my spine.

The sherpas may be the defining factor for success rate on K2. Sherpas are important.

Great video 👏👏 keep it up 👍😊

Great vid mate, thank you

Excellent video, slightly debatable title. Using fatality rate alone (deaths:summits) to define deadly the top three are: 1. Annapurna 33% (1 in 3), 2. K2 25% (1 in 4), 3. Nanga Parbat (22%) Thank you for a great video.

It’s this death zone that gets me thinking…. I’m not entirely convinced that Noah built a boat that floated on a sea that high up.

Excellent video!!

Absolutely superb! Thank you!

K2 looks menacing. It would be cool to make the trek and stand at the base of the mountain. I’m sure an experience you’d have to see to explain. Hard pass on climbing it, or any other mountain for me though. Respect to those that do.

I remember I watched a video about K2 a couple of years ago, and while people were ascending they saw 1 human body just rolling like a ball from that mountain. He died obviously, I believe he was a fire fighter from Canada. That video stuck with me. edit: Found the video. It is called "K2 Abruzzi Route Climbing 2018" and 2:28 mark.

What amazing editing!!!!

Very nice video... Everything was perfect...Can you please tell me which editing software you use?? Can't imagine this is your 1st channel... And so many summits in 25 hours window... That was lucky

Brings back memories of climbing Half Done mountain in Yosemite. I'm older now and my memory is not so good any more but here's how I remember it. I got used to the higher climate by riding my motorcycle up into the Sierra Mountains of California. As I got into the death zone my bike began to sputter and I had to carry 100 pounds of gear on my back for miles to get to base camp at Curry Village. I left before sunrise because you must go up and back before sundown or you will die. You begin by having to walk under a 1,000 foot hight water fall of cold snow run off. You get cold, wet and all you gear is soaked. The rocks are slippery and one wrong step and you will slide for 3 miles until you land head first into a pile of razor sharp rocks. It gets harder after that and when you get to the final climb you look straight up about 2,000 feet and see a rope ladder hanging off from the top. You are so tired you leave most of your 100 pound pack behind so you can climb the rope ladder. While you are gone there are monsters that live in the rocks who come and destroy all your gear looking for food. Rumor has it the monsters where put there by the base camp store so you will have to buy new gear when you get back. One look at the rope ladder on the sheer vertical 2,000 foot climb to the summit and I said @#$$%%%^^^ this - I'm going back. Just then a 10 year old kid in shorts and a T-shirt started up the rope ladder. So I knew the kid was on a suicide mission so I followed up behind him to try and rescue him ( or was I ashamed he was going to climb it and I was afraid to? .... I forget). I told myself, "don't look down." For once I followed my own advice that turned out to be good. Once on the summit, looking down, I could see K2 in the distance. I savored the moment and the view, knowing I had to leave within 12 mintues or I would die. The trip back was harder than the trip up. The rock monsters had eaten all of my food and I was near starvation as I entered the base camp. I had lost 20 pounds. I went to the base camp cafeteria at Curry Village and ate 40 pounds of food. I slept well that night knowing I was the first person in history to see K2 from the summit of Half Dome mountain. And that's the way I remember it.

Very well done video, keep it up with more content. Your channel is very underrated but success is not far. Good luck.

I honestly hope k2 stays a difficult challenge and doesn't end up like everest. It used to be an accomplishment, now it's a tourist attraction. Dropping fatalities is good, but by removing the challenge you remove what makes it special

Great video! I hope you get more subscribers in the future :>

subbed. great content. thanks

Very high quality explanatory video about K2! Just loved it. Please keep producing more content like this on other 8000 meter peaks too. Just subscribed you and looking forward for more videos like this! Cheers mate 🍻

I notice K2 doesn’t have lines of 300 people waiting in queue to summit … what is happening at Everest ?

Very informative!

Ended Up Subscribing, Thank You For Teaching Me Something! Learn Something New Every Day. 💪🏼💯

Excellent video . . . very well narrated and researched. So help me god if it is yet another one of these A.I. generated videos I seem to keep running up against. Those are a dead giveaway if you are at least moderately educated about mountaineering and familiar with the history of these peaks and legendary climbers and expeditions. Geezzz, I hope you are an actual person as your videos and information is great . . . and factual!

K2 is frightening, Annapurna is more dangerous, although the Ogre is the scariest and probably hardest to climb followed by Cero Torre which looks terrifying! Beautiful to look at though! Enjoyed the vid 👍

I’m more fascinated by K2 than Everest. Everest may be in the spotlight by K2 has my attention.

Absolutely amazing documentary.

Really amazing and quality content.. Subbed!!

Great video man! It’s been put together so well!

I can't even manage my energy during a 10km run

Whenever I watch a video about K2, I think about the 2021 winter summit that the 10-man nepalese expedition achieved. Winds of up to 40mph and temperatures that drop to -40c. That's without the fact that this mountain is extremely difficult to climb even in summer. Must have been a hell of a journey.

Great video - I was locked in the whole time!

"K2 is a savage!" Annapurna: Hold my beer!

Are “Sherpas” on K2 actually know as High Altitude Porters? I was under the impression Sherpas are a Nepalese ethnic group living near the base of Everest that work as porters and guides on Mt. Everest. High Altitude Porters are Pakistani.

I am so happy that you use metric measurement! EDIT: and 30 seconds later you begin with "it's a hundred foot tall", damn! Great and informative video!

Just signed in to subscribed to this content.

Mashallah very great research and I appreciate you for making this video and I gained too much knowledge from this video.

Brilliant. Thank you.

Fantastic video. Thank you.

I lvie in California where in Yosemite, people die regularly. Some are climbing El Capitan. a vertical face about 4,000 feet above the valley. Others fall off falls and peaks as much as 5,000 ft. I admire their guts, but I think I enjoy life enough to keep going.

Excellent, thank you!

All the death-rate percentages on the 14ers have been coming down in recent years due to better preparations and equipment. But, there was a time in the late 90's, early 2000's that K2's death-rate was about 33%, only second to Annapurna I! Many years, nobody would succeed at summiting. Now, unfortunately, it's taking on the "turnstile" identity that Everest has had for years! Also, the serac above the "bottleneck" on K2 might be the most intimidating section on all of the 14ers! The only one I find comparable are the enormous seracs that are present on Nanga Parbat in the Mummery Spur. These mountains are a different world which is why I've always had the utmost respect for the high-altitude mountaineers that have survived them.

Very good channel and information.

Brilliant video mate.

wait this channel is so perfect omg

I really like this video. Well done! K2 is indeed savage

Subscribed. You need much more subscribers. San Diego. CA

Seen the Karokroam range first hand, unbelievable stuff

Your videos on Annapurna ans K2 are amazing 👏

Great video, thank you

"Summiting is optional, getting down is mandatory" - Ed Viesturs

Excellent work

It would be cool to say you did it but the type of person I am I could never feel great about it knowing how much easier it is today vs the first time summited

Excellent video. Do a deep dive on the pyramids, would do numbies
