K2 (کے ٹو ), also known as Mount Godwin-Austen or Chhogori (Balti and Urdu: چھوغوری), is the second highest mountain in the world, after Mount Everest, at 8,611 metres (28,251 ft) above sea level. It is located on the China-Pakistan border between Baltistan, in the Gilgit-Baltistan region of northern Pakistan, and the Taxkorgan Tajik Autonomous County of Xinjiang, China. K2 is the highest point of the Karakoram range and the highest point in both Pakistan and Xinjiang.
K2 is known as the Savage Mountain due to the extreme difficulty of ascent. It has the second-highest fatality rate among the eight thousanders. With around 300 successful summits and 77 fatalities, about one person dies on the mountain for every four who summit. It is more difficult and hazardous to reach the peak of K2 from the Chinese side, so it is usually climbed from the Pakistani side. Unlike Annapurna, the mountain with the highest fatality-to-summit rate (191 summits and 61 fatalities), or the other eight thousanders, K2 has never been climbed during winter.
Climbing history
Recent attempts
2008
On 1 August 2008, a group of climbers went missing after a large piece of ice fell during an avalanche, taking out the fixed ropes on part of the route; four climbers were rescued, but 11, including Ger McDonnell, the first Irish person to reach the summit, were confirmed dead.
2009
Despite several attempts, nobody reached the summit.
2010
On 6 August 2010, Fredrik Ericsson, who intended to ski from the summit, joined Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner on the way to the summit of K2. Ericsson fell 1,000 metres (3,300 ft) and was killed. Kaltenbrunner aborted her summit attempt.
Despite several attempts, nobody reached the summit.
2011
On 23 August 2011, a team of four climbers reached the summit of K2 from the North side. Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner became the first woman to complete all 14 eight-thousanders without supplemental oxygen. Kazakhs Maxut Zhumayev and Vassiliy Pivtsov completed their eight-thousanders quest. The fourth team member was Dariusz Załuski from Poland.
2012
The year started with a Russian team aiming for a first winter ascent. The expedition ended with the death of Vitaly Gorelik due to frostbite and pneumonia. The Russian team cancelled the ascent. In the summer season, K2 saw a record crowd standing on its summit—28 climbers in a single day—bringing the total for the year to 30.
2013
On 28 July 2013, two New Zealanders, Marty Schmidt and his son Denali, died after an avalanche destroyed their camp. A guide had reached the camp they were at, but said they were nowhere to be seen and the campsite tent showed signs of having been hit by an avalanche. British climber Adrian Hayes, who was with the group, later posted on his Facebook page that the campsite had been wiped out.
2014
On 26 July 2014, the first team of Pakistani climbers scaled K2. There were six Pakistani and three Italian climbers in the expedition, called K2 60 Years Later, according to BBC. Previously, K2 had only been summitted by individual Pakistanis as part of international expeditions. Another team, consisting of Pasang Lhamu Sherpa Akita, Maya Sherpa, and Dawa Yangzum Sherpa, became the first Nepali women to climb K2.
On 27 July 2014, Garrett Madison led a team of three American climbers and six Sherpas to summit K2.
2017
On 28 July 2017, Vanessa O'Brien led an international team of 12 with Mingma Gyalje Sherpa of Dreamers Destination to the Top of K2 and became the first British and American woman to summit K2, and the eldest woman to summit K2 at the age of 52 years old. She paid tribute to Julie Tullis and Alison Hargreaves, two British females who summited K2 but lost their lives on descent. Other notable summits included John Snorri Sigurjónsson and Dawa Gyalje Sherpa who joined his sister (Dawa Yangzum Sherpa), becoming the second set of siblings to summit K2. Both Mingma Gyalje Sherpa and Fazal Ali recorded their second K2 summits.
Winter expedition
1987/1988 - Polish-Canadian-British expedition led by Andrzej Zawada from the Pakistani side. The trip came 13 Poles, 7 Canadians and 4 British. March 2 Krzysztof Wielicki and Leszek Cichy established camp III at 7300 meters above sea level
2002/2003 - Netia K2 Polish-Winter Expedition. Expedition leader Krzysztof Wielicki. Excursion reached 7650 m
2011/2012 - Russian Expedition consists of nine climbers manager and physician has reached the height of 7200 m. Ended in death Vitali Gorelik
Use of supplemental oxygen
For most of its climbing history, K2 was not usually climbed with supplemental oxygen, and small, relatively lightweight teams were the norm. However the 2004 season saw a great increase in the use of oxygen: 28 of 47 summitteers used oxygen in that year.
When ascending above an altitude of 8,000 metres (26,000 ft), the climber enters what is known as the death zone.
Pakistani Mountaineers Conquer K2 For The First Time As A Team
As many as six Pakistani mountaineers belonging to Gilgit-Baltistan on Saturday conquered 8611 meter high, the world’s second highest mountain, Karakorum 2 (K2), Dunya News reported.
It is the first time that any Pakistanis in form of a team have been able to successfully climb up the mountain to set the record. The team of mountaineers also hoisted Pakistan flag on top of the mountain.
On the occasion of 60th anniversary of adventure on the world’s second largest mountain, six members of the 8-member team of mountaineers successfully conquered K2 with the support from Italian organization EV-K2-CNR.
According to sources, the team of mountaineers reached the Camp 3 on Wednesday. This is the point from where the mountaineers started climbing today at 4 am early morning.
The team comprises mountaineers belonging to Gilgit-Baltistan including Muhammad Sadiq Sadpara, Hasan Jan, Ali Rozi, Rehmatullah Baig, Ali Durrani and Ghulam Mehdi.
Team’s member Muhammad Sadiq became the fourth Pakistani mountaineer to conquer four mountains in Pakistan of over eight thousand feet height.
Sadiq Sadpara is the younger brother of internationally acclaimed Pakistani mountaineer Hassan Sadpara. The technical assistance to the team was provided by two Italian mountaineers Michael Kochi and Simon Argastino.
Although, K2 and a few other mountains have already been conquered by many mountaineers of Gilgit Baltistan as Guides and High Altitude Porter with foreign teams before, this is the first formal expedition in the form of a Pakistani team for adventure on K2.

Laila Kiran and team have excellently documented the issues faced by the people of the remote Darkut Valley in Yasin.
The increasing natural disasters have been threatening the lives and livelihood of this remote valley.
A devastating flooding had destroyed 75% of the Darkut village in 1977-78. Many families left the valley when another flood hit the village in 2010 and washed out houses, crops, livestock, roads, irrigation channels and other infrastructure.

Short Documentary of K2 Mountain || Gilgit baltistan|| Pakistan || present By Beautiful world
K2 is the second highest mountain in the world. It is in the Karakoram section of the Himalayas between Pakistan and China. The popular name K2 came from the name of the mountain range Karakoram. It means Karakoram 2. Although it is ranked 2nd in elevation, it places 22nd in prominence.
K2 is 8,611 metres (28,251 feet) high. The mountain may be harder to climb than Mount Everest because of its very bad weather.[1] Climbers say that the weather around K2 is much worse than Mount Everest. K2 is also much higher than the area around it when compared to Everest. K2 is nicknamed The Savage Mountain because of how difficult the climb is. It has the second-highest fatality rate among the eight-thousand-feet mountains. As of 2011, only 300 people have climbed to the top of the mountain. At least 80 people have died trying to climb it.
An unofficial name for K2 is Mount Godwin Austen, named for the man who first climbed it.
K2 Trek | Natural Beauty of Gilgit Baltistan | Northern Areas of Pakistan
K2 (Urdu: کے ٹو), also known as Mount Godwin-Austen, at 8,611 metres (28,251 ft) above sea level, is the second highest mountain in the world, after Mount Everest at 8,848 metres (29,029 ft). It is located in the Gilgit-Baltistan region of northern Pakistan. K2 is the highest point of the Karakoram range. There’s no one reason that K2 is often considered the most difficult mountain to climb. It’s known for its steepness and for the unusually long distance mountaineers must trek just to get to its base, with no villages to stop at and restock supplies. The legendary climber Reinhold Messner has described K2 as the most beautiful of all the high peaks: “An artist has made this mountain.”

It is located on the China–Pakistan border between Baltistan in the Gilgit-Baltistan region of northern Pakistan, and the Taxkorgan Tajik Autonomous County of Xinjiang, China.[4] K2 is the highest point of the Karakoram range and the highest point in both Pakistan and Xinjiang.

Ascents have almost always been made in July and August, the warmest times of year; K2's more northern location makes it more susceptible to inclement and colder weather.
