Breathtaking: K2 The Worlds Most Dangerous Mountain, Eddie Bauer
K2 is a savage mountain that tries to kill you. That is how climber George Bell described the infamous peak after the first American expedition in 1953forever giving the mountain its nicknameThe Savage Mountain. Sixtysix years later, Eddie Bauer mountain guides Adrian Ballinger and Carla Perez aim to summit the 8611meter peak and join a community of explorers fewer in number than those who have been to outer space. Even more incredible, they both will attempt the feat without the use of supplemental oxygen. Every step of the way the team faces hazardous conditions, terrifying setbacks, and crushing misfortunes. But as Ballinger puts it, I ll go until the mountain tells me I cant go anymore.
