K2
description K2 Overview
K2, known as the 'Savage Mountain,' stands at 8,611 meters (28,251 ft) and is the second-highest peak on Earth. Its extreme technical difficulty, steep slopes, and unpredictable weather patterns make it significantly more challenging than Everest. K2s prominence is 4,418 meters (14,495 ft). The mountain has a notoriously high fatality rate among climbers, earning its reputation.
Its remote location in the Karakoram Range, bordering Pakistan and China, adds to its mystique and isolation. The first successful ascent was in 1954 by Achille Compagnoni and Lino Lacedelli.
