Hello Climbers, today we want to show you another mountain recently implemented in the game - K2, widely considered the planet's toughest and most dangerous mountain to climb.
It is no different in Climber: Sky is the Limit!
Let us be your guide on Savage Mountain:
The most difficult mountain in the world, the classic pyramid shape. From the base to the top (8611 m.) the steepness of the slopes varies between 45 – 90 degrees. It's about two and a half football fields shorter than Everest, but it's widely considered the planet's toughest and most dangerous mountain to climb. Every fourth climber never returns after reaching the summit.
K2 expedition will require using various techniques.
To this date, only 377 people have summited the mountain.
Become one of them in Climber: Sky is the Limit.

A. Camp one, from here you start your way to the top.
1. Straight road, divided into two routes leading to the top
2. The route starts in the crevice and goes through the icy tunnel
3. Moderately mild, icy area with rocks. Use of hooks and screws recommended.
B. Convenient place to camp and regenerate.
1. Very steep and narrow passage between the rocks.
2. Black Pyramid - a characteristic rock climbing wall.
C. Place for another camp before climbing with ice axes. Exposure area.
6. Vertical ice wall - ice axes required.
7. Steep and dangerous entry between the rocks. Risk of stone avalanches.
8. The last approach before the summit. Icy area with sharp rocks. Exposure.
D. The beginning of the next route to the top. A place to camp and choose the strategy.
9. Steep approach along an icy slope. Large exposure.
10. Narrow pass above the chasm. Steep, rocky terrain.
E. Last camping place on the second route, regain your strength before the final push.
11. Vertical Ice wall - ice axes required. The rift to overcome.
12. Rock climbing wall, after overcoming it there are only a few steps to the summit. Exposure area.
K2 has one of the most extreme winter conditions among all of the in-game summits, you have to be appropriately prepared to stand a chance of summiting it.
We recommend bringing the clothes with the highest insulation to push your temperature resistance to the limit.
Otherwise, you may freeze to your demise easily.
Depending on the path you choose you may encounter:
slippery ice tunnels,
loads of steep walls surrounded by rocks,
and the famous Black Pyramid!
Remember to bring lots of extra belay with you, you'll need those hooks, ice screws, pickets, and long ropes on your way to the top.
More exciting things await on the routes of K2, but they are yours to find.
