K2, a mountain of rock, ice, storm, and abyss. It makes no attempt to sound human. It is atoms and stars. The K2 Summit Disasters.

To the viewer reading this: I spent over 200 hours on this video, I hope you enjoy 🙂
This isn’t The Everest Discrepancy, and its not a video of solar sands, or emplemon, or lemmino’s. This is The K2 Summit Disasters. This video essay deeply covers the events of the 1939 Karakoram Expedition to K2, and it also covers the 1986 Disaster atop K2. The 1939 Expedition to K2 and the 1986 K2 Disaster, aim to conquer this mountain.

I know i cant say mountain correctly 😭
Nice vid, but you spent the entire video refering to all of the camps as 'base camps'. The lowest camp on a mountain is called base camp. The next camps are numbered in ascending order through to the the summit. Your diagrams actually show this, but you'd rather call them all base camp XD
I like to believe some legendary nobody Pakistani farmer looked at it and think to himself "you know what, fuck it i am climbing up this bitch" didn't go up and came down alive and told everyone there was nothing up there thus disencouraging the whole Pakistan population from bothering.
Perhaps another legend time forgot.
the narrator is some sort of AI, no working narrator mispronounces that many words.
You spell peace as in rest in peace not piece as in part of.
I could not tolerate the narration. Its painful.
I dont get climbing. Just get a chopper!
Those people were nuts!!! I can’t imagine any sane person undergoing such an endeavor!!!!🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪
Dude I won't even try gas station K2…let alone a mountain named K2. The very idea is absurdly foolish.
I did not enjoy this video due to the irritating background noise which was interfering with the narrators voice. The narration was way too rapid for me to enjoy the story, and along with the loud background noise, stopped me from finishing the video. Will not be subscribing. 😢
The guy is racing to talk too fast….and he wins!
Aleister crowley climbing k2 blows my mind haha
Total crap👎
Excellent documentary thanks. It confirms to me, that K2 is definitely one of the ☠ grim reapers favorite play grounds. R.I.P all who don't escape the reapers grip
This is fucking unwatchable
This is so nitpicky but it’s kinda driving me crazy lmao there’s only 1 “base camp” at the very bottom (base) of the mountain. The others are just “camps” i.e. camp 2, camp 3, camp 4, etc.
Also does he not know that mountain has a t in it??? What is with dropping the t’s??? Laziness is at it’s best when you start talking like an idiot!
Camps 1 to 9 are not ‘base camp’.
4:16 damn dude didn't even have proper boots his fate was sealed already😂
It's not a Mouain it's a Mountain!!
Climbing K2, would be a great challenge; ( not this year,though).💙
I've heard one mountaineer remark: "K2 is for mountaineers… Everest is for tourists."
Mountain climbing has become a money making operation funded by people with more money than brains.
i beliv they was so unholdebal they tok teh desitiion to goe and let this evil guys do teyr ego trip.9:45 i know it ! do you see ? ^^
