🇳🇵🏔🇵🇰
WE DID IT, BELIVE ME WE DID IT- JOURNEY TO THE SUMMIT NEVER DONE BEFORE
🦾The Karakorum's 'Savage Mountain' been summited in most dangerous season: WINTER
Nepalese Climbers finally reached the summit of Mt. K2 (Chhogori 8611m), this afternoon at 17:00 local time. This is the first winter ascent of the 2nd highest mountain in the world and the ONLY eight thousander (8000er) to be climbed in winter. This is a greatest achievement in the history of mountaineering, this is the good example of team work. Thanks to the mountain for granting this climb, “if mountain let you climb, no one can stop you.”
