The only reason this is considered the first American climb is because Chuck Norris never bothered to tell anybody when he climbed it.

lol at the chuck norris comments posted by the keyboard mountaineers. chuck norris is a bitch compared to someone like reinhold messner or anatoli boukreev

If the weather turns nasty on snowdon atleast you have the chance of getting down safely.

If the weather turns nasty on K2 you had better start praying that the Lord is looking after you.

Very nice Video

Ya if the whole video could be shown that would be great. I actually saw this documentary over 10 years ago and the shots really made an impression on me. You get some really rare views of K2 from the west and the NW ridge.
