“Over 6 weeks we have traveled many miles, seen many things and come to the end of the road. Now we walked to K2 basecamp,” he said in a Facebook post here. Mike Horn became famous in 2001 after completing a solo journey around the equator without motorised transport. In 2004 he completed a two-year, 3-month solo circumnavigation of the Arctic Circle.
Over 6 weeks we have traveled many miles, seen many things and come to the end of the road. Now we walked to K2 basecamp. For all of you who have been following our journey – this is where the real adventure begins. My boyhood dream of climbing K2 is here. #DrivenToExplore See the series of videos in my playlist – “The Road to K2”.
