K2 is the second highest mountain in the world. It lies in the world. It lies in the central part of Pakistan's Karakoram range. It is also known as the "dangerous mountain" because of the technical climbing required to reach the top. The height of K2 is more than 8000 meters. Lino Lacedili and Achille Compangnoni were the first people to climb K2. The most successful human to climb K2 is Nimdai. It is on the border between Pakistan and China. Although Everest is at a higher altitude, K2 is more difficult and dangerous to climb due to its more inclement weather. Only 577 people survived during the summit K2. Although K2 looks like it is way smaller than Everest, it is way smaller than Everest. K2 is not usually recognized as a peak by people. K2 was invented in 2008 in a normal way by 2 landscapes hitting each other. A lot of tourists come to Trek. K2 is very hard to trek.
