K2:-

K2 is the second highest peak in the world. This range is located in Karakoram Mountain, Pakistan. Its height is 8611 meters / 28251 feet. It was first climbed on July 31, 1954, by two Italian climbers, Lesdale and Companioni. It is also called Mount Goodwin Austin and Shahguri.

History of K2:-

The mountain was first surveyed by Goodwin Austin in 1856. Thomas Mount Gumri was also with him. It was named K2 because it was the second highest peak in the Karakoram Range. It is named after Godon Austin. The first expedition to K2 took place in 1902 and ended in failure. After that, the efforts of 1909, 1934, 1938, 1939 and 1953 also failed. The Italian campaign of July 31, 1954, finally succeeded. Lisdale and Companioni managed to climb the K2. 23 years later, in August 1977, Achiro Yoshizawa, a Japanese climber, managed to climb it. With him, Ashraf Aman was the first Pakistani to climb on it. In 1978, an American team managed to climb it. K2 is considered more difficult and dangerous than Mount Everest. There are 246 people on K2 and 2238 on Mount Everest.K2 or Godon Austin Peak is the highest peak in the Karakoram Range in Gilgit-Baltistan, near the Pakistan-China border. It is the second highest peak in the world after Mount Everest. Cato is also called Chhoghori in the local Balti language, who cries out to the climbers at an altitude of eight thousand six hundred and eleven meters, or twenty-eight thousand two hundred and fifty feet above sea level, with all her murderous rage. Thomas Montgomery climbed the peak when a survey was conducted under the British government to measure the dimensions of India. Named after (Karakoram 2). Earlier, Henry Godon Austin, an English geologist, had discovered this crown of Karakoram. For this reason, it is also called Mount Godon Austin. This highest peak of Mount Karakoram is also called a savage or cruel mountain peak due to its dangerous ascents and slopes. Cato-climbing rates are lower than Mount Everest because of the extremely unfavorable weather and the deadly climb of the mountain whose lines are almost vertical. More climbers have died. In these climbs, 'Bottleneck' is the most dangerous place where many fatal accidents have taken place. These include the 2008 Kawa tragedy in which 11 climbers from different countries lost their lives. Bottleneck K2 is the general who is equipped with pillars and towers of the giant temple of ice and deceitfully kills one out of every five climbers who climb this pyramid-like mountain peak. That is why it is said that K2 is the peak that distinguishes between a passionate climber and a fame-hungry climber. The first attempt to head Cato was made in 1902 but failed. After the failures and experiments of several mountaineering groups, in 1954 an Italian team added a golden chapter to the history of mountaineering by climbing the brutal peak of K2 for the first time. In 1977, Ashraf Aman became the first Pakistani to conquer K2. Since then, many climbers have managed to reach the highest point of the Karakoram. June to August are the best months to climb K2. The rest of the year the weather here is very unsuitable for mountaineering. The most common route used to head it is the Abruzzi route, which is a difficult and dangerous route to use on a technical basis. Nazir Sabir is the proud capital of Pakistan who made a historic achievement by leading K2 to Western invasion. The 1981 mountaineering featured a Japanese climber with Nazir Sabir. Mehraban Shah, Rajab Shah and Hassan Sadpara have also reached the heights of K2. In 2014, for the first time, a team of Pakistani barriers and guides stepped on top of K2 with Italian climbers to celebrate the 60th anniversary of its ascent. The K2 was first filmed by a drone in 2016, but it was only possible up to 6,000 meters, after the K2's guard weather refused to allow the drone to fly.
