De
K2
(
Urdu
: ?? ??,
Kaitu
) is in 8611 meter hege berch op de
Pakistaansk
-
Sineeske
grins yn de
Karakoram
. It is de op ien nei heechste
berch
fan de wrald, nei de
Mount Everest
. De K2 jildt as 'de hillige graal' foar berchbeklimmers en is neffens in protte kenners de slimst te beklimmen berchpyk fan de wrald. De berch hat in stjertesifer fan 25%, wat syn bynamme
Killer Mountain
ferklearet.
[1]
De pyk fan de berch waard foar it earst troch minsken beklommen op
31 july
1954
troch Lacedelli en Compagnoni, twa Italjaanske klimmers.
