Summary

After almost five weeks, a weather window long enough for a summit attempt on K2 has emerged. Most teams and many individuals have left, but an estimated (very rough guess) that 20-30 total people, split equally between commercial and independent climbers, remain for the summit push starting today, August 5th, 2025. #k2025 https://www.alanarnette.com/blog/2025/08/05/k2-2025-coverage-k2-summit-push-on/
