Serbian Climber, Dren Mandic, Dies On K2, 12 Others Trapped Between K2's Bottleneck and The Summit

Many people in the Alpine community have their eyes set on K2 tonight where tragedy has struck two climbers and 12 others have become trapped while on their summit push. K2 is the second highest peak in the world and claimed to be the world’s toughest to summit.

There are some places on this planet that should never see the footprint of man. K2 is one such place. The bogs of Niverville is another. Going there invites death. Death has come to K2 today.
