American-British expedition also posts pictures of progress of K2 expedition
Meanwhile, an American-British expedition to climb K2 also posted some breathtaking photographs of its progress on the Internet.
Managed by American mountaineering guide Garrett Madison’s outfit (he has climbed Everest six times and K2 once, among other peaks), the progress of the expedition was posted on Madison Mountaineering’s blog.
