Climbers regard it as the ultimate achievement in mountaineering, with good reason. Four times as deadly as Everest, K2 has claimed the lives of seventy-seven climbers since 1954. In August 2008 eleven climbers died in a single thirty-six-hour period on K2-the worst single-event tragedy in the mountain's history and the second-worst in the long chronicle of mountaineering in the Himalaya and Karakoram ranges. Yet summiting K2 remains a cherished goal for climbers from all over the globe. 650 0 $a Mountaineering $z K2 (Mountain) $z K2 (Mountain) 650 0 $a Mountains $z K2 ( Mountain) $z K2 ( Mountain) $x Difficulty of ascent. 650 0 $a Mountaineers $z K2 ( Mountain) $z K2 ( Mountain) 650 0 $a Mountaineering accidents $z K2 ( Mountain) $z K2 ( Mountain) 651 0 $a K2 (Pakistan : Mountain) $x Description and travel. 700 1 $a Roberts, David, $d 1943- 941 $a 16 952 $l GYPE631 $d 20240626011948.0 952 $l DFPC353 $d 20240430012804.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722023003.0 952 $l BWPD851 $d 20210714011657.0 952 $l MXPG943 $d 20201013082827.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204040235.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110022531.0 952 $l AAPF906 $d 20190717020218.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006051441.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20170418073205.0 952 $l SHPC094 $d 20150107031840.0 952 $l SCPC074 $d 20140131020657.0 952 $l ZBPE245 $d 20131219024353.0 952 $l D8PD522 $d 20110618014945.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20100201083435.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20100120073657.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6D3A6F66FBCE11DEB3E93EDF5F36B428 994 $a 02 $b JIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
