Good watch on Netflix if you enjoy hiking/climbing etc, or just want to watch a mad man trying to ascend all 14 8000m+ mountains in 7 months.

Yeah, that's the K2 for you though. Probably the hardest out of the lot and the bottleneck is one of the scariest things when you get to it.

Everyone has to make their own decisions in the mountains. If you agree to do something you're not comfortable with because someone persuaded you....that's on you, as long as he's not holding a gun to their head! You need some people with a bit of fire to do challenging stuff. I'm naturally very risk averse and need a bit of a push to take chances....

I've only been to 4.5k ish mind

4.5k is still enough if you don't acclimatise properly, can easily put yourself in trouble. I'm planning to do mount elbrus next year.

Watched it earlier. Some very sweaty palm scenes I tell you. Absolute lunatic and was only a matter of time before an accident was in the making.
