K2
With a peak of 8611 meters above the sea, K2 is not the tallest mountain
in the world. It is still considered a greater achievement by
professional mountain climbers then the taller Mount Everest. For every
fourth person to reach the top, one has died, and it has never been
climbed by winter. For this reason it is also known as Savage Mountain.
It lies on the border between China and Pakistan. It can be climbed from
both sides, but the Pakistani side is couted as the easiest, and also
the most popular.
