It is located on the border between Baltistan, in the Gilgit Baltistan region of northern Pakistan, and the Taxkorgan Tajik Autonomous County of Xinjiang, China. K2 is the highest point of the Karakoram Range and the highest point in Pakistan. K2 is known as the Savage Mountain due to the extreme difficulty of ascent. It has the second-highest fatality rate among the eight thousanders. With around 300 successful summits and 77 fatalities, about one person dies on the mountain for every four who summit. It is more difficult and hazardous to reach the peak of K2 from the Chinese side, so it is usually climbed from the Pakistani side. Unlike Annapurna, the mountain with the highest fatality-to-summit rate (191 summits and 61 fatalities), or the other eight thousanders, K2 has never been climbed during winter. Ascents have almost always been made in July and August. K2's more northern location makes it more susceptible to inclement and colder weather. k2 , k2 mountain documentary,k2 mountain summit, k2 mountain climbing video, k2 mountain movie, k2 mountain hd, k2 mountain from chinese side, k2 mountain youtube, k2 mountain in pakistan, k2 mountain deaths, k2 climbing
