Brilliant but harrowing knowing what was coming. The best and worst of alpinism.
One thing I didn't quite understand - for two days, they're talking about how the fresh snow fell and the avalanche risk increased a lot - but seemingly the next day they go for it? Is just the reality of climbing in the Karakorum or was this a factor in what happened?
I have no experience of this sort of climbing so would like to respectfully understand the circumstances.
