Two threads on this already. Do a search for K2

In reply to Bob:

Searching K2 will among other things give you an interesting article about the treatment of mountaineering mothers and Alison Hargreaves from 2010, but nothing on this recent BBC article.

Interesting that the story has come from the BBC's Pakistan office. I would argue that they got it wrong when they say Mehdi was forgotten. As a Bonatti admirer I was very familiar with the story and it saddened me a little to think that when I met him in 2001, the terrible wrong had still not been corrected.
