>K-2

Hardest mountain to climb in the world, or at least those who try often do not succeed or are killed on the ascent.

Weather is completely unpredictable for the most part, and the route used to summit it is ridiculously dangerous.

You could pay $1 million and I wouldn't try to climb it.

Correction: it is the 2nd most deadly mountain to climb.

There is a 25% chance that you'll die trying to climb it and no one has ever made it to the summit during the winter.

Indeed, the death rates are mind boggling.

I would never do any of the really high and steep mountains. I prefer alpine style and it seems much too risky to me to attempt an alpine climb for mountains like that.

God mountains are beautiful. I've only ever climbed mountains in Colorado, which are tall but only a one day excursion. I would love to go on a mountain climbing excursion like Everest one day, but I don't think its ever gonna happen.

Why? Dying on K-2 is much cooler than cancer, heart disease, or car wreck.

>>33438
Fucking cool ass peak.

>>33441
Only because of it's summit history. I believe K-2 will surpass it soon.

>>33459
Damn near impossible too. The snow is too loose and deep on the faces for mixed climbing.

>>36523
Slowly learning trad so I can start some traversing.

The 25% chance that you'll die only doesn't take into account those that don't succeed but don't die. So if you attempt it that doesn't necessarily mean there's a 25% chance of death. That's not to say that the mortality rates aren't absolutely fucked.

Fucking love Mt Thor. That whole region just seems so intense - so isolated and relatively unexplored.
