## Resource

The summer 2025 Karakorum for the 8000-meter peaks is over, and what a season it was. There were summits, deaths, disappointments and survivals. Was it a “successful” season? I’ll leave that judgment to others—but honestly, it often felt like safety took a back seat to ambition. Summits: K2- 42 with two deaths Broad Peak: 0 Gashbrum II: 0 Gasherbrum I: 17 Nanga Parbat: 25 with one death#K2025 Climb On!
