 K2: Nepalese mountaineers team for the first time in the world's second-highest peak winter

The most difficult mountaineering challenge in history was completed on Saturday for the first time in history when a team of ten Nepali climbers managed to climb the world's second-highest mountain, K2, in winter.

Ten Nepali climbers from three different teams started their journey at 1pm last night and reached the peak of K2 at an altitude of 8,611 meters at around 5pm on Saturday.

Seven Summit Tracks, of which Sona Sherpa, a climber, is part of the team, confirmed the feat by tweeting on the occasion.

On the other hand, according to the Alpine Clip of Pakistan, Sergei Mangot, an assistant leader of Seven Summit Tracks from Spain, was killed on his way from Camp One to Base Camp.

 The award will go to mountaineers around the world.

Speaking on the occasion, Alpine Club of Pakistan Secretary Karar Haideri said that the campaign to conquer K2 in winter, which started in mid-December, has come to a successful end.

According to Karar Haideri, around 3 pm on January 16, world-renowned Nepali mountaineer Nirmal Praja, along with three others, was waiting for his other seven companions, about 70 meters from the top of K2, a few meters away. Were on

All ten Nepalese climbers wanted to reach the top of K2 together.

According to Karar Haideri, Nirmal Praja said on the occasion that we will get this award not for ourselves but for our nation and climbers all over the world.

Karar Haideri said that Nirmal Praja was getting very emotional on this occasion.

"I have always dreamed that I would be heading to K2 in the winter with my other Nepali colleagues," Karar Haidari told the BBC about Nirmal Praja's statement. No one can imagine how happy it was to turn this dream into a reality.

"We are only 200 meters away," said Manama Galje, another Nepali climber, in a Facebook post before the official announcement of K2's victory in the winter. We will receive this award for Nepal and Adventurers.

"We will make our nation proud," Mangma Galje, who arrived at K2, said in a Facebook message after breaking the 7,000-meter record in the winter.

It is located on the very northern bank of the Karakoram at the Pakistan-China border, and in fact, there is no clear border between Pakistan and China. Two were considered the border.

About 125 miles from Skardu is located at a distance of 200 km or 104 km by air. Its longitude is 35.52 and latitude is 76.30.

The K2 route passes through the town of Skardu through the Shigar Valley and ends at the last village, Ashkoli, where the trek begins.

The journey takes over the Baltoro Glacier and ends in eight to ten days, reaching K2 on the shores of the Gordon Austin Glacier.

K2 Peak is the second-highest peak in the world with a height of 8611 meters which is known as 'Sewage Mountain'.

The reason for the name K2 is that the word 'K' is taken from the first letter of Karakoram Karakoram and Tu means the top 2 of Karakoram.

This is because when a campaign led by George Montgomery first came to the region in 1856-57, he climbed a high peak. Named the One (K-1), which later became known as the Mushroom 7821.

Henry Havresham Godon Austin, a member of the survey team, named another peak K2 in further research.

For some time, it has been called the American Mountain because of a British researcher. After Gordon Austin's research, it was called Godon Austin Mountain, and after the survey was completed, it was officially called K2.

Attempts were made to head the K2 for a century and many paths were taken but no one was successful.

Dozens of climbers lost their lives and snow fell in this icy world until the year 1954 began and it was Saturday, July 31, 1954.

It was six o'clock in the evening when the first human footsteps reached the summit of K2 and the lucky climbers were two Italians, 29-year-old Leno Lacidli and 40-year-old Achille Komagnoni.

Thus began the journey of discovery, exploration and mountaineering of K2, which began almost a century ago.

This historical story was later published in book form by the head of the campaign, Professor Daisy, under the name Victory Over K-2.
