First tragedy in the Karakoram in 2026 — What happened to the climbers on their way to the summit of K6? On June 24, 2026, an avalanche struck the slopes of K6 in the Pakistani Karakoram. A group of three people was caught in it. Two survived and managed to descend on their own. The third was Guillaume Pierrel, one of the leading figures of his generation in extreme skiing and ski mountaineering, a man who skied down places many believed were impossible to descend. In this video — the story of Guillaume Pierrel: from the mountains of the Vosges and mountain films to his legendary descents in the Alps and the Karakoram, his work on the documentary “Kaizen” alongside Inoxtag, and the attempt to make the first ski descent in history from K6. A story about why even the greatest experience and the highest technical level are not always enough against the objective dangers of the world’s highest mountains.
