When Climbers Try K2’s Deadliest Route – The Dangerous Polish Line

Imagine a mountain so deadly, it’s earned the chilling nickname The Savage Mountain. This is K2, the world's second-highest peak, standing at a staggering 28,251 feet (8,611 meters). Its history is stained with tragedy, with about 23 climbers dying for every 100 who manage to reach its top. In the summer of 1986, a particularly dark year, 13 people tragically lost their lives on its unforgiving slopes. Yet, during that very same deadly season, a new route was forged. This is the harrowing story of the Polish Line, a route so dangerous that no one has ever attempted it since. Make sure to subscribe for weekly videos!
