K2 is different from the other 8000 meters peak:
1. The climate in the entire mountainous region is extremely unstable. Unlike the peaks of Mount Qomolangma and other peaks, there is a cycle of climate change. As long as you have a good weather window (usually there are always a few green light periods of 3-5 days), The chance of a successful summit; K2's good weather is rarely longer than two or three days, and many times, there are many extreme changes on the same day.
2. Although there are currently 8 routes to climb K2 (6 on the south and 2 on the north), none of them is easier or safer! For example, the southeast ridge route (also known as The Abruzzi Spur, which was the first route taken by the Italian team 50 years ago) is known as the traditional route. Below 7,000 meters is a mixture of ice and rock cliffs with an average slope of more than 50 degrees. 70-90 degrees, and at any time the occurrence of an avalanche or rock falls, hit 8000 meters or more, but the depth of the snow and waist ridge. Our side of the Tibetan team's hero Bachazi once said that K2 gave him the feeling that the pack on his back had to go up and up, and there was no place to rest.
3. Because K2 is a steep ice-cliff cliff, all routes are extremely narrow, and there are few places available for camping along the route. For example, on the southeast ridge route C1, only about 10 tents can be built, according to experts. The construction of over 5 tents there has already been a bit crowded, but the news returned yesterday (22/6) stated that there are now more than 15 tents crowded there! So there are some latecomers climbing K2 who are forced to climb directly from the forward camp (ABC) to C2. It's hard to imagine the amount of energy consumed and the danger! I believe this is also one of the reasons why the Tibetan team is rushing to the advanced base in K2 this year.
4. It seems that as long as there is money and time (of course, there must be considerable climbing ability and interest), the peaks of the seven continents and numerous peaks of 8000 meters will have business teams ready to lead you up, but only K2 will not be just because of money. The reason is willing to walk with a stranger, and any life before K2 becomes fragile! A climber who has not boarded the K2 can fight hard year after year. If he succeeds, he says, enough, I succeeded! 50 years ago, only two people once boarded the K2 twice! (However, this year's Italian team leader Agostino Da Polenza and Spain's Juanito Oiarzaba all successfully climbed to the top in 1983 and 1994, and the latter was the creator of the K2 South-South East Route!) K2 is not an ordinary mountain peak, K2 Only a first-class climber!
