Overview

K2 8611m Expeditions 2024: With 8611m, K2 Expeditions is the second highest mountain in the world. As early as 1939 Fritz Wiessner, tried the first ascent and, together with his Sherpa Pasang Dawa Lama, reached a height of 8390m. As the Sherpa was afraid of evil spirits and forced Wiessner to turn back (he simply didn´t hand out the rope), this attempt was not successful. The summit was finally reached 15 years later, on July 31, 1954, by the Italians Achille Compagnoni and Lino Lacedelli.

K2 8611m Expedition Location, The rate of success on K2 is relatively low, the number of people who died on the mountain is very high. Apart from height, steep slopes and technical difficulties, it is the frequent changes of the weather which make the mountain so dangerous. The normal route via the Abruzzi Ridge is chosen by most expeditions so that it is usually equipped with fixed ropes.

High Altitude Porters

We can give you the best and most experienced high-altitude porters of Baltistan who all are prepared to work for this agency. Some of them have climbed K 2, most of them have reached the summits of Broad Peak, G I and G II at least once

.

At present, the best high-altitude porters come from the Khapulu area and from the village of Satpara near Skardu. The probably strongest of them all is Little Hussain. He was among the high-altitude porters who helped to carry down the body of Markus Kronthaler from the summit of Broad Peak in summer 2007
