K2: Life and Death on the World's Most Dangerous Mountain

The mountain [K2] remains the ultimate test of the ambitions of the best climbers in the world. One way I know this to be true comes from having sat in on the chat of high-altitude climbers all around the world. In their company, if you mention climbing Everest, the remark may elicit nothing more than a shrug. But if you let on that you’ve reached the top of K2, a hush comes over the room. And then, invariably, someone will say, “Tell us about it.”

K2 Advocacy is your guide in navigating government relations, government contracting, and regulatory challenges.
