Gasherbrum II (8,035m), Pakistan
I teamed up with Gorgan Wildberger and Serap Jangbu Sherpa to attempt a double-header: climbing Gasherbrum I (8,068m) and Gasherbrum II (8,035m). These two 8,000-meter peaks are located in the heart of the Karakoram range, just a few kilometers away from K2 and Broad Peak.
K2 (8,611m), Pakistan
At 8,611 m, K2 is the second-highest mountain in the world and is noted for its technical difficulty among the fourteen 8,000 m peaks. During our expedition, we attempted the Abruzzi Spur but were forced back by challenging weather, rockfall, and a major avalanche.
