In part one of video from summit day, the Team pushes through the "bottleneck" in the pre-dawn gloom and moves up onto the "traverse" in the early morning sunlight. Amazing views reveal the challenges of these two most difficult and technical sections of K2, The Savage Mountain. Footage from July 20, 2007.

[scorchedearthdj]

such awesome footage. i've never seen the such excellent footage of the bottleneck

[aminman15]

That serac is the most wondrous ice cube ive ever seen. There's an hd video here on youtube showing how blue and solid it is. Type k2 bottleneck, its a short minute and a half vid; the guy on it says 'howdy' like its nothing. Incredible feets, respect to this fellow mountineer.
