Imagine Nepal Team Summits K2
The Imagine Nepal K2 Expedition 2024 team, composed of 8 international climbers and 10 Nepalese Sherpas, successfully reached the summit of Mount K2, the world’s second-highest peak, on Sunday, 28th July 2024.
The climbers summited between 9:52 am and 10:50 am Pakistan time, marking a 100% summit success rate for the expedition led by MingmaG, founder of Imagine Nepal.
The expedition began its journey from Islamabad on 25th June 2024. Despite facing continuous high winds of over 50 km/hr above 7,000 meters, the team seized a weather window to make their final summit push. Just a week prior, the team was waiting to establish Camp 3 after successfully setting up Camp 2. In a remarkable feat of determination and speed, they managed to establish both Camp 3 and Camp 4 within a short period, culminating in today’s summit achievement.
