More people have traveled to space than have summited K2, the world’s second-highest peak that’s considered by many to be the Earth’s most challenging climb. Breathtaking: K2 follows seasoned climbers Carla Perez and Adrian Ballinger as they attempt summiting “the savage mountain” without the aid of supplemental oxygen — an expedition fraught with challenges that threaten not only their chance to reach the top, but also their lives.
Carla Pérez (born 28 December 1982) is an Ecuadorian mountaineer. In 2019 she became the first woman to successfully summit both Everest and K2 in the same year, and the first woman from the Americas to summit K2 without supplemental oxygen.
