- Which is the hardest climb, Mount Everest or K2?
Both provides unique challenges, from Everest's extreme altitude and commercial support to K2's technical difficulties and unpredictable weather. Whether you're an aspiring climber or an armchair adventurer, this video offers a thrilling comparison of the world's two highest mountains. Let me know which mountain you think is the hardest climb in the comments below!

"Everest doesnt care if you die, K2 is actively trying to kill you"
Everest has double file crowds of hikers who lean over cornices and poke at the snow, while waiting in a line to move forward… k2 is being increasingly commercialized, but it will always be a far greater challenge… Everest is a test of endurance and survival when trekked without oxygen… k2 is a climbing challenge of ultimate survival, especially without oxygen… Andrzej Bargiel, a Polish mountaineer, climbed k2 without oxygen, and then descended entirely on skis, a world record that may stay unbeaten forever…
J2 also has ropes all the way to the top like Everest. They are both easier know then before.
@@sethwiley7839Well obviously. Like everything in mankind once something has been done it will keep getting easier and easier to do
@@davidstahl2156 saying k2 is harder is kind of overstatement. It's just everest is much more explored and stuff. The more k2 gets famous and stuff the safer it will get people would try to make it safer for the climbers. Mt. Annapurna used to be the most dangerous mountain but in recent days, it's fatality rate has decreased as the more famous it got and the more climbers came, it became more and more safer as people started to make way for climbers to have safe experience which was how k2 got the top stop. It won't be long for k2 to get more outside exposure and be more safer.
That Andrzej Bargiel guy was crazy like that has gotta be one of the most impressive shit ever
@@drippy_codmhe also lost 8 fingers
Just came back from K2 (was trying a new route). The weather can dramatically shift to the worse, avalanches and rockfall are recurring objective hazards present everywhere on the mountain. K2 is unforgiving, it’s truly a savage mountain. I posted a short video about that recent experience.
Was it a nice cakewalk in park? Lol
Nah life is good out here. I would rather watch the documentary about it with popcorn in my hand🙏🧘♂️🤐
Atleast go to basecamp my friend
@@akshay4912is base camp risky too?
@@shouryateja
Maybe for inexperienced hikers but it seems to be easier than the actual submit
Absolutely.
As someone who has been to k2 base camp
Trust me
The mountain is really trying to kill you. Just getting there is an adventure.
K2 is the king. Ask any elite mountaineer.
hahahahahah oh bhai, K2 base camp hahahahahah bus kar day bhai, kabhi 6000 meters ka pahad bhi climb kia hai 🤣🤣🤣🤣 trying to kill you hhahahahahah yay bacho wala base camp trek, 2003 may kia tha,
@danielmitchell5814 lay off the bath salts son
Slight correction: The Abruzzi Spur is not "especially challenging" compared to the rest of K2 - it's the easiest route on K2, and, therefore, also by far the most commonly climbed.
If climbing without fixed ropes, sherpa support, and supplementary oxygen, Everest is harder than K2.
1:48: "death rate 29.5% in Annapurna, 14% in Everest" Of total number of climbers? Can't believe it, it's no possible, at least in Everest. That would mean 1.400 deaths in Everest (total 10.000 climbers), but the real number is about 300 = 3%
Now Annapurna death rate is 32%-33% .... which claims the world dealist country (ratio for climbs to deaths)....and total Everest climbers are 6,664 and deaths are around 340 byt end of 2023 Dec
The death rate is how many out of all summits lost their lives
Its just wrong. Everest is i think 4.2% says Wikipedia. Its important to note that numbers over 100% are possible cause not every dead person made it to the top. And it just counts the sucsessfull atempts.
I could imagine historical data maybe befor 1990
Ah i think i got it. Its confusing. I think it counts expeditions relative to death in some way. But expeditions are mostly multiple persons.
This would at least fit pretty good with the numbers
@@MrRajitha if I remember properly Annapurna has become more safer. It used to be around 33% which has dropped recently. If I'm not mistaken k2 became no1 after the fatality rate of Annapurna dropped
Al hail and glory to the king of kings. The northern emperor. The mountain of mountains. The unnamed peak - the K2.
Just like the lion even if it isnt the most tall animal in the jungle yet no doubt he rules all, that’s the stature of K2 among all other mega peaks.
Everest is easy compared to a lot of other mountains. Otherwise, how would badly prepared tourists be able to ascend it?
Neither! Ill stick to the pub x
Even safer: drink at home
It really depends on the route. K2 is hands down the more challenging on the "standard" routes, but some "routes" up Everest (Direct Kangshung Face and the infamous Fantasy Ridge) are every bit as dangerous and challenging as anything K2 has to offer.
Everest is harder now. it's like climbing while queuing on disneyland xD
No Sherpas in K2.
Although with better planning and equipment there are dar less casualties on the k2 now a days but still 4 ppl died this year and there are unexplored routes for example the west face has been climbed only once and 2 ppl died this year trying to summit through that route so k2 is still a savage mountain and always will be
Truly neither! After watching the Everest movie years ago and noticing that climbers have to traverse the Kumbu Ice Fall several times not just the once, I definitely didn't want to do it!
You can find a few hundred people anytime around Everest...
K2 you gotta trek 6 days from nearest human settlements to get to the mountain
2:10 please reconcile the obvious and massive difference between 248/6871=3.1% and the “14.whatever%” fatality rate that immediately fails the smell test earlier in the video for Everest
And k2 has no sherpas to guide 💀
K2
Both are nasty and not for rookies. Unfortunately Everest because of the being the tallest and the accommodations available tends to tempt more rookies who are not ready for it who go up and get into trouble . K2 is very remote and has few accommodations as well as being extremely difficult .Fortunately it only attracts fewer climbers in general and far less who are not skilled and experienced to attempt it.
I get cold very easy, so no thanks! 😁
Everest has 18 routes Probably as hard as K2 if you choose the wrong one
K2 lacks sherpas.
I can reach the top with helicopter. Am i hero now ?
I dont think any helicopter can fly above 8000 meters . Most of the helicopters can reach the height of 5000 meters and so .
I say they all are dangerous especially if you don't know what the phuck your doing without the right equipment
Im fine on the ground in fair weather

K2's been climbed in Winter by some crazy man it has been conquered
Mori
Mountians cannot be conquered. You just get lucky
@@Jan-gy1jdlol it can be conquered 😂. The ethnic group called Sherpas has been living in such harsh mountains for ages and are genetically adapted for such places😂. Also there's a whole Nepali team that climbed 14 highest peak including k2 in just a year. And those same guys climbed k2 in winter too😂. "Luck" is an overstatement especially when the people climbing them are from ethnic communities who has been living in such higher altitudes that their whole body has been genetically mutated to survive in such places 😂.
@@angrymaniac53 Yes, they did a great job, and their skill helped them climb it. But going there a 2nd time, there's no guarantee you'll be successful. That's why I say it's not conquered. Besides, you definitely need luck with such mountains. In the case of an avalanche, there's no telling what's gonna happen. If it was conquered they'd climb it a million other times with no fear of not coming back.
@@angrymaniac53 k2 is notorious for throwing avalanches at you at any given time and no one is “genetically mutated” to survive a big Avalanche.
NONE 😅
Everest is harder.
Everest fanboy?
Nah everest is mild against k-2 east face
None.
Nice one,One geographic correction,K2 is in India
Lol then fly your chopper here
@@razaabbasp3t I do not have a chopper but google maps shows it in India only.. please check.
@@lo-firudraanother silly comment please revisit and correct yourself 😂
Wow! Beautiful and deadly nature. 🏔️🏔️🏔️
Personally wouldn’t climb either.
However the never ending journey of a man trying to conquer and be one with nature is both scary and inspiring.
K2 doesnt have sherpas to do all the work for the "climbers" that just walk up to the Mountain and take a selfie. It easy when all the weight of your equipment is been carried by someone else.
You just walk on glaciers with luggage for many km before reaching to the point where you start climbing k2 and on everest you dont need any hard walk because before climbing you reach your destination through walk trail
the Khumbu icefall and Hilary step, hardly a cakewalk...
The Hillary step is gone.
then you haven't heard about the Bottleneck Of K2 and How Many Lives it took
@@rizzrullzz593 your comment doesn't invalidate the original comment.
I've seen 13 years old kids say that on the internet too.
What made me accept this statistic of K2 vs Everest was the fact that taking the fastest route up K2 ntentionally put you in you more danger over other options because it is the fastest way through the death zone which kills you and destroys all of your supplemental O2 if you stay in it for too long. Everest doesn't have those types of zones on its summit route.
There have been attempts to climb Everest w/out the commercial support and logistics so I don't think those factors should make it be a cakewalk in comparison.
Neither
Everest was well known even before Europeans "discovered" it ..
While k2 was so isolated it wasn't even named
Wait until u encounter kailash
hemmmm ... none 😛
Neither one
K2 is a cakewalk compared to K1.
Neither Everest or K2 rank near the hardest climbs.
...nah...
So I've heard. It's been climbed a handful of times.
Bro k2 is the literally the most brutal mountain with Annapurna and Nanga Parbat, i dont give a sh*t about difficulty of ways, is all about if you come back home or not, avalanches, cold as fuck, very low oxygen, more meters to climb, the 8k are the real deal
@@Peoplechamp99bro compare the number of people climbing everest to the numbers of people climbing Annapurna, k2,etc😂. K2, Annapurna, etc have far less climbers. The more climbers a mountain gonna have, the more safer it's gonna be because the government and people doing climber business there would look for ways to make it more safer for climbers. Annapurna's fatality rate decreased as the more exposure it got. K2 too will be safer and safer the more exposure it gets. For now k2 is more dangerous when climbing in winter but let's not forget there have been people who have climbed k2 in winter too. Soon it will have more and more and it's fatality rate would decrease too.
@@angrymaniac53 you're completely right, but there are some things to define the difficult of the mountain, apart from death to attempts ratio👍
