Blogging K2 Tom Smith

You can follow the progress of EarthTrek’s team on K2 here, a step by step if you will blog of their attempt on this greatest of all peaks, a much, much worthier objective than Everest.  It is for all practical purposes as tall as Everest, but much more difficult to climb.  And these guys are trying a route never done before.  They stand a good chance of losing at least one climber, which strikes me on reflection as pretty much insane, but it’s not as if they were conscripted.
