K2 is the second highest mountain in the world, thought by many to be the ultimate climb.
Organizer and Leader Dan Mazur put the first surviving Briton on the summit of K2 and the first Americans on the summit of K2.
Leader David O'Brien has led 5 expeditions to the summit of Everest.
The climb includes full logistics, oxygen and top class Nepalese Sherpas who have summited K2 before.
Our most recent expedition successfully and safely summited K2. The expedition was led by Dan Mazur. Our 6 Nepali Sherpas and 3 members did an amazing job!
