Last month, a team of Nepali climbers set a new record by climbing the world’s second highest peak, K2, in the winter. The 10-member team of Nepalese climbers began their adventure on December 31, 2020 and announced on January 16, 2021, the second highest peak in the world during the day. The Gilgit-Baltistan government confirmed for the first time that it had set a record for the first K2 winter, and described the Nepalese government’s efforts as encouraging for winter adventures.
At 8,611 meters, it is the second highest peak in the world, also known as ‘Savage Mountain’. The peak was first climbed by Italian climber Achilles Campagnoni in 1954. So far, 86 climbers have lost their lives trying to climb K2, compared to only 450 climbers who have been successful before today. However, none of them were able to reach the summit in winter.
