Looks like he sideslipped a lot of it.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Since 1954 (when K2 was climbed for the first time by the Italians) only 300 people have managed to get on to the summit (compared to 2700 on Everest). Dude did it without oxygen, carried his skis to the top and then skied down. I think a bit of sideslipping is in order.

@Whitegold, mate if you think you can ski a better line down K2 then I'm sure Red Bull will supply you the GoPro to prove it.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Yeah, on a couple of pitches there, he was sitting back on his skis a bit. Obviously needs a couple more lessons this coming season to sort that out.

I'm pretty sure many here wouldn't mind chipping in for such a worthy cause even though it would be a great shame never to see the Go Pro camera again.

might even be enough to pay for a heli to make sure we got video even if the gopro was unrecoverable...

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Maybe if he'd used a snowboard it would have been a bit more exciting.

Heard him interviewed and he came across as a bit of an back bottom. Asked if he thought drones would be a good thing. Not really it would spoil “my” enjoyment of the mountains. No thanks to the operator etc etc
FFS they and it saved your life.
