>>7860732Climbing K2 without focusing on your gear pretty much ensures it's suicide. It's a cool trip for an experienced, brave climber. For anon, it's suicide plain and simple. He probably doesn't have much money so he can't just go to K2, let alone have the supplies needed. Maybe what drove anon down is the fact that it's all the same everywhere they look, but proving a Herculean point isn't the answer to self-worth. It's working towards a brighter outlook on life.
