Very few people in history have ever summited K2, only about 8% of the number who have summited Everest. Truly a mountaineer’s mountain, the death rate is over 20% for those who summit it. Record-breaking British climber Jake Meyer, who had already climbed Everest by 21, returned to K2 for the third time, where he finally conquered the world’s second-highest mountain and the tallest in the Karakoram range on the border of China and Pakistan.

Bremont Ambassador Jake Meyer has begun his attempt to reach the summit of K2, otherwise known as The Savage Mountain, due to its dangerous and difficult ascent. We sat down with Jake before he left for his adventure, to find out more about his challenge ahead and why he was attempting it for the third time.

The Savage Mountain maintains its reputation, as Jake and the team’s worst fears are confirmed...
