  • where you go when you have a movement in that environment?

  • hang your ass off the edge and let it go.

  • Nice Gascans, did you use polarized lenses? I can't tell from the video if the lenses say polarized.

  • Thanks. The glasses are the Oakley Eyepatch. A little bigger and fuller coverage than the gascan. Better peripheral vision for climbing. Using a black iridium lens, the polarized lenses make it difficult to see the LCD screen on the camera-ipod-etc.

  • DWatson8848-you mention a lot of "broken tents"...do you think there should be an "expedition" to clean up Concordia/K2 of this mess? I know there is something similar happening over at Everest.

    Apropos, thanks for the video-great shot!

  • Pakistani mountain.

  • @RussianSpetsnaz0123 Bro.. K2 Is harder than Everst lol.

  • @Mamertum345 ok thanks i will do that

  • @RussianSpetsnaz0123 - Great goals you've set for yourself. However, if I were you, I will go the other way round. First Everest and then K2. K2 is notoriously a 100x more difficult to claimb than Everest.

    GOOD LUCK!!

  • im scared of heights but i want to train to climb k2 and maybe one day everest

  • When in a sleeping bag do you wear your shoes? Could you get frostbite if you took them off?
