K2 is the worlds second-highest mountain - regarded by climbers as far more, challenging to summit than Everest and perhaps the most dangerous peak on Earth. When eleven men perished on the slopes of K2 in August 2008, it was one of the deadliest single events in Himalayan climbing and it made headlines around the world. Yet none of the surviving Western climbers could explain precisely what happened. Their memories were admittedly fogged by exhaustion, hypoxia and hallucinations. The truth of what occurred lies with four Sherpa guides, who were largely ignore by the mainstream media in the aftermath of the tragedy and whose heroic efforts saved the lives of at least four climbers.
