It’s official: Marianne has deadly mountains on the brain and she can’t get enough! This week she breaks down her deep dive into K2 after an update with her first murder mountain love, Mt. Everest. K2, while not quite as tall as Mt. Everest, has proven to be a significantly more treacherous peak to climb, with a litany of associated tragic expeditions and plenty of broken and frozen bodies to show for it. She regales the wide-eyed DIE crew with a plethora of stats, exploratory lore, perilous vistas, and stories a-plenty of humanity’s continued effort to reach new heights, albeit often with a cost. Tune in to this first of several installments on the mighty K2!
