We love adventure, but some adventures are best experienced in book form. Climbing K2 is such an adventure. In 'K2 on life and death', Fredrik Sträng describes the 2008 expedition to K2, when eleven climbers lost their lives. You do wonder why they put themselves through this, but it is also fascinating to follow them up the mountain.

Motorhome adventures, hiking and cycling adventures can be good enough to risk your life, but not like on K2.

Roger, I agree! You are out on a lot of adventures, and adventures always involve some risks, but such risks as on K2 do not seem entirely justified. Exciting and interesting to read about though
