K2 -

My friend and US-based mountaineer Rob Springer is back from a few months in Pakistan! He tried to climb what is known as a "double". He wanted to acclimatize on Broad Peak, before moving his gear and focus on K2. Broad Peak is the 12th Highest Mountain in the world, but it is Safer and less steep than K2. By acclimatize on Broad Peak and then simply make a quick attempt two summit K2, limiting the time on the more dangerous mountain!

Rob showed with this expedition that he has the strength and courage on large projects. Which I have greatest respect. He also showed that when it all gets too much ... he takes the big decision and turns. It takes courage! He has proven he has what it takes and I know he will come back for more. Attempt to climb K2 is a great thing… and some think that coming home and be able tell is a even  bigger thing!!

 See you out there ...
