A group of climbers will be making history if they succeed in the K2 winter challenge embarking from Islamabad on January 7 to the summit of K2, the world’s second highest mountain in Pakistan’s northern areas.
The group, consisting of Sirbaz Khan (Pakistan), Tamting Sherpa (Nepal), Pasang Namgel Sherpa (Nepal), Kili Pempa Sherpa (Nepal), John Snorri (Iceland), Tomaz Rotaar (Slovenia) and Gao Li (China) have been selected by John Snorri and Mingma Sherpa.
The K2 winter climb is currently the most coveted climb amongst mountaineers but the team’s success – like those before them – is contingent upon favourable climatic conditions.
