About K2:
This is the worlds most dangerous mountain and to prove so it holds the greatest death to summit ratio. The mountain lies on Pakistan's & China's border. Permits are expensive, $40,000 last I heard. You can pick one up at the capital, Islamabad. Plan on spending some time here fighting red tape. FA: Lino Lacedelli and Achille Compagnoni, 1954
