I just finished reading Jon Krakauer’s book, Into Thin Air, about his climb on Everest - he was the only one who survived on his team that year.

K2 appears to be much harder to climb. - Ileana Johnson

Most wind up at near the same place at the bottom, in ice which churns over against the rock. 

A writer for Outside Magazine visited and photographed the multitude of colors you see in the ice from hiker's clothing.
