🏔🇮🇹 #31July 1954.
70 years ago, the first human beings (of course as far as we know) put their feet on the top of Karakorum 2 (#K2) in Pakistan, the Savage Mountain, the Unviolated Peak, the deadliest and most dangerous in the world, 8611 mt. high.
These human beings were part of an #Italy / Pakistan expedition of more than 100 climbers and porters.
Only 2 of them reached the top, #AchilleCompagnoni from #Lombardy #Alps and #LinoLacedelli from #Cortina D'Ampezzo, #Dolomites.
As always happend in these expeditions some lost their lives.
Epic and legendary ❤️🔥
