K2 is an expedition for those seeking extreme adventure and who have previously experienced mountaineering in the Himalayas. Despite being the second highest peak in the world, some climbers may underestimate the difficulties one must endure during the ascent, an excellent level of mountaineering experience is required.
We will not carry out a basic K2 program, without guarantees and acting only as simple intermediaries with the companies that have the logistics of the base, altitude and material camps in place.
Our Director, Jordi Tosas, a mountaineer with more than 30 years of experience in the Karakorum and the Himalayas, together with our entire team of multidisciplinary experts, will create a tailor-made, personal plan based on your experience to reach K2 with the greatest guarantees of success.
K2 has been successfully completed by some 400 people throughout its history. If we compare it with the more than 11,000 who have climbed Everest, we can see the complexity and challenge that this mountain represents.
The ascent to the top of Mount K2 is considered more difficult than Everest due to its steepness and unpredictable weather. The expedition also lacks experienced Sherpas and there is a high risk of frequent avalanches. In fact, it’s a technical climb from day one that includes glacial ice, snow, and rock, regardless of route.
Each case will be studied personally depending on previous experience. After completing Challenge 1 (Private Campus) a joint plan will be drawn up with times and costs for the final objective.
Challenge 1
Private 4-5 day camp in the Alps or in a chosen mountain range together with our Director carrying out different alpine activities where we can assess the level from which we start and begin to develop a plan to follow.
Challenge 2
We will look for a 6000′ to perform as the next step in the training process.
Challenge 3
We will look for a 7000′ to perform as the next step in the training process.
Challenge 4
We will look for an 8000′ to perform as the next step in the training process.
Challenge 5
With all the preparation and training work done behind us, we will be able to face K2 with many more guarantees of success.
The program for K2 is usually around 50 days. It will take us about 12 days from our arrival in Islamabad to the base camp with an internal flight to Skardu and the subsequent approach trekking.
Once installed in the base camp we will have around 30 days to get a good acclimatization and find the best window of time to reach the summit.
This is a personal and private training and preparation plan for people who are clear about the challenge and costs involved in a project of such magnitude.
We advise you to take the following courses before your trip to enjoy the experience to the fullest:
