Descending down to base camp on his own. Descent is always more dangerous than ascent.

Brilliant effort - never thought I'd hear of this being completed in my lifetime.

I've never been to the Karakoram (or the Himalaya for that matter) but if there is one mountain that I would just like to go and take a look at, it would be K2.

Yep, there’s some pretty amazing stuff happening in winter now. I’ve reached the summits of three Himalayan peaks. But in summer! I haven’t been to Karakoram.
