K2. At 28251 feet or 8611 meters K2 is the second highest mountain on Earth. But if you ask anyone who knows anything about mountains, K2 is the true king of the 8000m peaks. The little bit that it lacks in height is more than made up for in every other respect that makes a mountain difficult and dangerous. The slopes are steeper, the weather is worse, and the climbing is more technical. It’s for this reason that despite having less than a tenth of the ascents of Everest, K2 has more than a third of the deaths. So, in this video, we’re going to look at why K2 is considered one of the most difficult and dangerous mountains on Earth and the impossible first attempts to conquer it.

It actually makes no sense to suggest that the crampons were tossed away They were already descending and agreed not to ascend in the dark. If it was true that they were purposely tossed then why did they attempt again the following day without the necessary equipment. No way the American would have done it alone if the Sherpa said no

Connecting all the camps with a red line, then having it disappear into a black line when the supplies were stripped, was a simple yet incredibly efficient piece of visual storytelling. Just seeing that black line snake down the mountain really built up a sense of dread.

George Bell, after a 1953 expedition to K2, famously said "K2 is a savage mountain that tries to kill you," causing it to still be known to this day as the Savage Mountain. Incredible that these men came so close to the summit and might have made it but for a poor route choice at the Bottleneck Serac.

K2 has always intruiged me more than Mt. Everest, ironically for all the reasons you listed: It's more dangerous, it's steeper, it's more remote, it's way more challenging. ...and probably the fact that fewer people have climbed it - Everest is a tourist attraction by this point. There's no mystery to it any longer. For K2 however, there is a certain allure to it and even though I would never attempt to climb K2, its presence, the sheer massiveness and steepness of its silhouette - it's awe-inspiring and also instills a certain amount of fear and respect into you by just looking at it.

Why are you assuming they were slacking off? From what was in the video, it seemed like those at the base genuinely thought the climbers hadn't gotten that far yet because they didn't see movement that high. It wouldn't make sense for them to set up camps near the summit of the mountain if the climbers were nowhere near that point. Considering the year and the technology at the time (no handheld radios, for instance), plus the difficulty bridging the language divide, there's no reason to believe the main problem was laziness.

Recommend the book “Last Man on the Mountain” and other books written about the 1939 disaster on K2. There was a lot of animosity between the American members of the expedition and Fritz Weissner, the German born legendary expedition lead. Some may have wanted to believe he was dead. Also, Fritz was a purist and refused to bring a radio up, so the team down below had no idea what was going on up top for many days. Fritz was also leading the American playboy Dudley Wolfe up, who was rich but fat, and most assumed he would die up there (he did). Plus there was all sorts of miscommunication. There are some other videos on RU-vid that cover it with interviews like “Ghosts of K2”.

@38Bugatti
@38Bugatti 6 месяцев назад
That percentage doesn't exactly mean that you have a 26% chance of dying if you ATTEMPT K2, it just means that for every 4 SUCCESSFUL SUMMITS there is one death. The number of people who successfully summit is only a percentage of those who attempt, I don't have the exact numbers. So the odds of dying on a given attempt are less than the 26% given here.

Greater number of ascents/ descents isn't all positive in terms of safety. The factor that is probably adding the most danger to climbing Mt. Everest is how crowded it is getting. Also, don't count on taming Annapurna unless you are able to control the climate and the weather. Annapurna is probably not as technical as K2, but the shifts in climate conditions and constant ice and rock falls can kill anyone no matter how skilled.

I binged watched all your cave diving videos, excitedly writing down new locations I haven't visited yet. I find those video incredibly calming and beautiful. In the majority of cases, divers made crucial mistakes that no cave diver would normally do, so it is educational and a good reminder. I also feel strangely happy for the people that passed because they went doing what they love most (and when my time is over, this is exactly how I want to go). On the other hand, watching mountain climbing tragedies gives me horrible anxiety. I've never done it myself, but my father is an avid alpinist, and now I want to cling to his leg next time he decide to go on an expedition, and never let him go, even if it involves handcuffing him against his will. Funny how that works.

Nice video with detailed info like the name of the tools they used and the name of the section. To people like me who know nothing about mountain climbing this’s very useful. And I really like your scientific approaches! In the beginning you gave a reasonable way to fairly compare the mountains but also mentioned the uncertainly year to year. I also love how you came back at end to recognize the names of those people. So well done!

K2 also has the extremely volatile hazard of the Bottleneck and the traverse above it. It is easiest and quickest way to and from the summit, but is so dangerous.

I was watching a PBS special on Mt. Everest when they mentioned that those who died on the mountain, stayed on the mountain. All those "guided tour" members, shuffling past bodies . . . that was an image that stayed with me. Never, never, never. Besides, what rational person wants to fight their way up to a death zone, where life can't exist?

You could do a video on the top 10 most dangerous mountains on earth using death rates and whatever other criteria you can think of. That would be cool.

When I was 10 (I'm 37 now) my older brother got into mountain climbing and wouldn't shut up about it, then he rented a movie called K2 and I watched it with him and since then that mountain lives rent free in my mind. To even try that climb you must be an acomplished athlete, but to think of those people trying to climb K2 with little more than thick coats and willpower, damn...

Thank you for such an amazing and interesting video. One thing I want to add for viewers is that K2 has a local name, and the people of that area have given it the name ''Chogo Ri'' which means Big Mountain'' in the native Balti language.

@ScaryInteresting I hope you're not too heavily criticized for telling these stories without names. It helps me a lot to be able to focus my limited working memory on the events, and hearing the participants names AFTER finding out what these people went through MAKES the names memorable for me. I wish it was normal to do introductions at the end of conversations instead of the at the beginning. If you used a bunch of names while telling it through the first time, I would lose track much more, and would probably end up forgetting the events as well as the names. I'm SURE I've seen videos of early K2 climbing attempts, but this story sounded completely new. I think I will remember better after watching this one. I'm glad you do things this way, and I'm extra glad you decided to add these addenda to your stories. Thank you!

0:08 "If you ask anyone who knows anything about mountains, k2 is the true king of the 8000 meter peaks" That totally depends on who you ask and what aspect of the mountain matters most for them. k2 is the most deadly for example, but not the tallest, not the most technically difficult, that's the Trango towers, or depending on who you ask, the most memorable.
