There are treks, and then there is the walk up the Baltoro to the foot of K2 — a journey so vast and so improbable that people spend their whole lives dreaming of it. Over 21 unhurried days, we travel together…
- Stand at the foot of K2. Few people on Earth ever look up at the second-highest mountain in the world from its own base camp. You will — at the Gilkey Memorial, where the mountain's history and its sheer scale hit you all at once.
- The Throne Room of the Gods. At Concordia, the Baltoro and Godwin-Austen glaciers meet and four 8,000-metre giants rise around you at once. There is nowhere else like it on the planet.
- Cross the legendary Gondogoro La. Rising by headlamp to reach a 5,650m pass just as dawn breaks over an ocean of eight-thousanders is the kind of morning you'll be telling stories about for the rest of your life.
- Walk on a river of ice. Days spent tracing the mighty Baltoro Glacier, beneath the Trango Towers and Cathedral spires — raw, wild country that almost no one gets to see.
