Why K2 Is Deadlier Than Everest

Everest rises 238 metres higher, yet K2 has carried the deadlier historical reputation. This documentary compares the two mountains through real summit and death records, route support, technical climbing, rescue limits, weather and the Bottleneck beneath K2's unstable serac. It also revisits the 2008 disaster to show how delays, altitude, darkness and the loss of fixed ropes can turn one narrow section into a trap—and explains why historical ratios are not the same as personal odds.
