In the winter of 2021, climbers from all over the world flocked to the foot of K2, the second-highest and most dangerous peak on the planet. It was the "last first": thirteen eight-thousanders had already been climbed in winter, and only K2 had not given up.
On January 16, a team of ten Nepalese achieved a historic feat by reaching the summit. However, that same day, Spanish climber Sergi Mingote died on the descent. Three weeks later, during a short and dangerous weather window, a second group set out to summit. Only one person returned from the "death zone" alive—young Sajid Sadpara, sent down by his father because his oxygen equipment was broken. Three experienced high-altitude climbers—Muhammad Ali Sadpara, John Snorri, and Juan Pablo Mor—disappeared without a trace.
Their bodies were discovered on the slope only six months later. What happened to them above the Bottleneck? Were they ever at the summit? What strange crack blocked their path? And why did they go up when everyone else had turned back?
This is a complete, minute-by-minute investigation of the events of the winter of 2021, based on testimonies from participants, eyewitness accounts, and rescuers' findings.
