In 1856 Captain T.G. Montgomerie who was working on a survey of India saw the Karakorum range and measured its peaks, identifying them with a series of numbers prefixed by the letter ‘K’ an abbreviation of the ranges name; hence K2. Situated on the Pakistan / Chinese border in the Kashmir region known as Baltistan which has given its name to ‘Balti’ cuisine. K2 at 28,250ft is the second highest mountain in the world. Sometimes known as the savage mountain, with its fierce storms, constant avalanches and hazardous rock faces, it is the most formidable mountain to climb even for the most experienced of climbers.
