⛰️ Located on the border between Pakistan and China, K2 is the second-highest mountain on Earth. For many climbers, it is an even greater prize than Everest, with limited routes, a steeper ascent, and a harder push to its summit. Nicknamed the 'Savage Mountain,' K2's peak juts unprotected into the atmosphere, regularly exposing climbers and porters to life-threatening weather conditions.
▪️ Despite being paid at rates far below those received by international expedition leaders, porters provide critical supplies to expedition base camps or take on higher-altitude tasks in support of ascending climbers. K2 porters do some of the most difficult and dangerous work and these efforts make them worthy of recognition as the true heroes of mountaineering.
