I'd highly recommend reading Ed Viesturs' account of his ascent of K2 - "K2: Life and Death on the World's Most Dangerous Mountain", it also details the history of K2 mountaineering, amazing read.
- mbostleman 6y agoOne of my favorite mountaineering photos is one of Ed Viesturs navigating a long traverse across a > 50 degree snowfield high on K2 with Scott Fisher kneeling in the background on belay. Can't seem to find it now but I think I first saw in this book.
- calmoo 6y agoDoesn't seem to be in my copy of the book - there are a few of Viesturs and Fisher but none with belaying. If you're eager to find it, Viesturs seems pretty active on Instagram, he might be able to find it for you.
