The 1995 K2 Disaster: What Went Really WRONG ?

Today we are about to dive into the tragic story of the 1995 K2 disaster in the Karakoram. This story reminds us of the dangers mountaineers face on their quest to reach the summit of K2, one of the most deadliest mountains on the planet. In the late K2 summer climbing season, the remnants of several unsuccessful expeditions made one last attempt at the summit.
During one of the most worst storms ever witnessed in the history of K2, six climbers tragically lost their lives, while heading down from the summit in late hours. Four climbers were left to fight for their survival on the slopes. One among them, Jeff Lakes, later died due to sheer exhaustion in Camp 2. What happened amidst the harsh weather was a harrowing tale of strength and determination. Peter Hillary, Jose Garces and Lorenzo Ortas were the lucky survivors. So let's find out how this tragedy unfolded on K2.

Just imagine if they hadnt climbed K2 they would all be ALIVE today! Im so glad I don't climb mountains. I love life and and all that it offers. Being ALIVE and well to me is more important than climbing any mountain! Life is amazing. You don't need to climb any mountain to realize this fact.

Please stop calling these "disasters" or "tragedies". People who pay thousands of dollars for guides, equipment and training know damn well what they are getting themselves into even if they can't get out of it.😕

I'm here after your other documentary about the K2 2008 tragedy. I must say yours are much more informative about all climbers who took part in each of the events. And objectively presented as well. I'm sure this took more time than the average for such documentaries, and it has definitely been noticed by lots of viewers.

They were excellent climbers but no matter how good you are you have to have luck with the weather too. So sad they made it to the top but were blown off the mountain.

I hate these videos. Can’t understand a damn word he’s talking about.

Thank you for this interesting video! I always like your way of storytelling, the great footage you choose to show the real situation and also your analyze of the tragedy. All your videos are worth to be seen if you are interested in mountaineering. Amazing!

Little tip. Always overlay lettering by adding a different colored border to the letters, like they have them on quality subtitles (in anime for example). Like a black border around white lettering. This way, you can always clearly read the letters regardless of what colors are present in the images you have them layered over. Like in this case with images of the many snow covered mountain ranges and the white lettering. Hell, you can do white letters on a completely white background and still be able to read everything, by giving the letters a black border.

Great storytelling! Fantastic photos. Your research is outstanding. I will have to watch this one again.

I think you'd have better luck going over Niagara falls, not the American side with the huge boulders have way down, the Canadian side which is all water. Good luck
