So - some of you
know and some don't - my brother Chris is climbing K2 this summer. Unfortunately I googled K2 and came up with all sorts of scary information and also some information that made me realize how incredibly challenging it is to even attempt to climb this mountain. Its only 600 feet shorter than Everest, which Chris summitted a couple of years ago, but its a lot more difficult. It has a lot more vertical and its with a lot less support. Most people summit without oxygen and so far only 198 have summitted compared to just about 2000 who have summited Everest.Chris has a long summer of snow and wind and danger and adventure ahead of him, so please keep him in your safe thoughts and follow a long - you can sign up for his blog through the links below. You can also go to the team website and see the other fella's he is climbing with.
