Mountaineering is not a sport. It is an example of HUMAN SELFISHNESS that steps on the neck of its own brothers to climb a mountain and come down, and in the process fill the pure glaciers with all kinds of human garbage, from the most basic urine and feces to plastics, metal bottles, even the toxic batteries by the horde of self-centered, disloyal and hypocritical insensitive people who celebrate their selfies on top of the corpse of a human with whom they lived excitedly half an hour ago.

This is the best organized of many videos about K-2 and other 8,000m peaks. It shows stage-by-stage (camp-by-camp) with the intervening climbs, terrain, time, distance, and inclines included. Quite a feat to climb K-2, and keep presence of mind and cool to video the ascent as well. Calm and organized as you are, there's a ton of drama in all of it just getting as real a sense of what it is like, as is possible from watching a video! Other than praise for your knowledge, skill and talent ... you guys are NUTS!! Planning for years maybe, training, months out of your life for the climb itself, to get to the top at considerable risk, only to want to get down as soon as possible because the place is "trying to kill you!" as it were. I'd rather take a couple of weeks off with a snorkel kit and go to a place dedicated to making you comfortable and healthy (aka "a resort hotel"). You guys should try it sometime! P.S. The only ice you find there is in your drinks!

The death rate actually dropped to around 13% in recent years. In 2022 there were 190 successful summits and only 1.6% of climbers died in the attempt. It is becoming commercialized the same way Everest is. Sherpas and Pakistanis, who in the past did not, are now more willing to be paid to carry foreign climbers equipment and supplies, while leading the climb. My guess is, in the coming years. We will see thousands of people successfully climb K2 just like Everest, with much much lower death rate.

Talk about things falling into place. I suppose hes done an incredible amount of physical training to prepare for something like this but to then get perfect weather and make the whole thing look so easy makes me think even i could do it (i definitely couldn't). Hats off

[@jimzucker]

thx man for these videos. i will never climb mountains but i've always being curious of how such experiences could look like. i couldn't believe someone was going to vlog such a journey. Respect!

[@francescogiardino4528]

What a great video this is. Thank you for taking me along the ride, you made it seem easy and relaxing. Respect

[@Banahwinn]

So so cool! Always been fascinated by this mountain, and it was so wonderful to watch a climb of it while feeling the good spirits the whole time. Congrats!

[@RG-5834]

It must be such an awesome feeling to summit the holy grail of mountaineering! K2 is the mountain of mountains and has the combination of truly magnificent beauty, high probability of treacherous weather conditions, terrifying and technically difficult slopes! I don’t believe I have ever seen better weather conditions on this scary mountain, but you still had to climb to the top with all the dangers and risks. Congratulations on making it to the top and safely down! 👏👏👏👏👏👏 I have say this is possibly the best video of K2 climbing I have seen, especially the exquisite photography and visuals of such a magical place on our planet.

[@joeglasheen3604]

One of the best videos of K2 I've seen. Absolutely amazing. Well done. Onwards and upwards..

[@JonGupta]

Thanks Joe!

[@alexanderds061]

One of the best movies about K-2. Such a nice quality!

[@JonGupta]

Thanks Alexander!

[@KapilOjha-gr8pm]

I want this level of calmness in my life....Thanks for uploading the video raw and real.

[@JonGupta]

You're welcome.

I don't usually comment on here, but your video deeply moved me. K2 in particular, as well mountaineering in general has always been a fascination of mine. Watching this really brought the experience to life for me, and Im so happy to have watched this im in tears of joy. Thank you so much. The struggle to put the effort at those altitudes into making this video as compelling as you did really shown through... my dude, you came across as someone we can aspire to chase our dreams after, not a superstar in any sort although still one, but someone people can relate to. You showed us bits of the journey, but those of substance. I got to see and feel what climbing K2 is really like, to an extent. And for that I thank you Sorry for ranting 😆

[@trendsstter60]

Jon Gupta and his love for tea is a better love story than twilight.. ❤❤

[@JonGupta]

Haha thank you 🙏

[@Greien218]

Oh my, this is what I've been waiting for. Such nice footage bro! Should have added a 'don't try this yourself' disclaimer. I'm in a plane to Pakistan right now because you made it look so easy ;)

[@JonGupta]

Haha….you’re a little late for this season…wait 11 months 👌🤣

[@gordonmorrow]

You made the K2 summit look easy. Of course this just means you are a man of enormous talent, who made excellent preparation and planning as well. I know nothing about mountain climbing but even I know K2 is called “the savage mountain” and kills 20% who dare climb it. Well done.

[@riponsutradhar2908]

Congratulations Brother. Best summit video of K2 in the internet. Throughout the journey you never scared. K2 is a savage mountain but you make it quite fanatically.

[@crocodile1313]

What a wonderful video! I just watched a video about the crazy, tragic events of 2008 on K2, but the people in this video make it look easy (which I know it's not). I guess that's the difference when the task is approached by a well trained and coordinated team. Unless we can get helicopters to land on the summit of K2, I'll never set foot there, so watching this was a great privilege.

[@blob3106]

What a Beautiful mountain, I've been training for the past 2 years to climb her someday

[@timjames1274]

Epic video! You are an inspiration. Amazing team. Perfect weather. And after all that hard work, a perfect result. What a brilliant experience! Congratulations!!

[@JonGupta]

Thanks Tim! They don’t all pan out so smoothly, but this one was great!

[@statonb]

Thanks so much for the great video of this climb. Your team's organization looked to be fantastic. I realize you had unbelievably good weather, but still, your preparation looked to be excellent. Summiting and heading back down by 7:00am is great.

[@thepredator666qc4]

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking us with you on this epic adventure, congrats to you for reaching the summit and much love from Montreal Canada ;)

[@MarkjBell1991]

That Serac on the downclimb was one of the scariest things I've ever seen! Can't imagine the psychological toll of being underneath something that big. How did that feel during the bottleneck? Agree with the other commenters, this should have millions of views- Amazing achievement!

[@diomede14]

Such a professional you are Jon! Positive, not too much talking, and excellent video quality! You make it look so neat, systematic, and doable!

[@snowflakesuperbike8294]

Absolutely the Best K2 Vid Ever , The only thing Unrealistic was How Easy You made it Seem ! Thank YOU For Taking Us Along ! Mad Respect !! Arizona

[@scottdark933]

You sir are truly a rock star! Absolutely amazing! Congratulations on submitting the hardest most challenging mountain on earth!

[@suulacooeagles4226]

Absolutely amazing! Such good quality video too. So clear you can see every crag. Really brings the experience to life for those of us stuck at sea level.

[@felixfourreau2380]

What an achievement ! Congratulations ! Those are places in the world I shall never see so thank you for this amazing video !

[@JonGupta]

You’re welcome, glad you enjoyed the video!
