24 Sunrise On K2 Summit From Concordia  [13 of 36]


The first rays of sunrise light up the K2 summit, the K2 South Face, the Great Serac, and the Shoulder, seen from Concordia. The upper part of the K2 South-South-West Ridge catches a bit of sun separating the west face in shadow from the sun descending the K2 South Face. On August 3, 1986 Wojciech Wroz, Przemyslaw Piasecki and Peter Bozik completed the first ascent of the South-South-West Ridge, called the ‘Magic Line’ by Reinhold Messner. Wroz fell to his death on the descent, apparently abseiling of the end of a fixed rope.
