On
August 1, 2008, eleven climbers died on K2. This mountain is an extension of the northwestern Himalayan
Mountain Range and is located between Pakistan and China. There is a one in four fatality rate for
climbing this mountain and most of the accidents happen on the descent. There were 22 international climbers
waiting at High Camp, the last stop before the summit. Many who survived didn’t know what
happened or how the climbers died.
A climber went around another climber in order to go back on
the ascent path. He fell and others didn’t know if he
was dead or alive. Three climbers
went to help him and another climber fell. These incidents caused a delay for those waiting to
summit. Then an icefall kills
another climber. Everything became
so complicated that it was difficult to figure out what was happening. 3* (This movie is OK)
