K2 2021 Summer Coverage: Death, Body Retrieval and Summit Pushes

In this Podcast I cover the recent events in Pakistan's Northern Territories on K2, Broad Peak and Gasherbrum I & II. Heavy snowfall and high winds have delayed progress on K2 but there have been summits on Gasherbrum II and Broad Peak along with the death of Mr. Kim Hong-Bin, 57. The bodies of winter K2 climbers Pakistani Ali Sadpara, Icelander John Snorri, and Chilean Juan Pablo Mohr Prieto who went missing were found between the Bottleneck and High Camp.
Over 50 climbers are expected to summit K2, barring any major problems over the next two days, July 27 and 28. I discuss all of this and more.
Climb On!
