National Geographic:

Many have died attempting to ski the world’s second tallest mountain. See how National Geographic Adventurer of the Year Andrzej Bargiel made history.

Last July, after days of climbing, Andrzej Bargiel skied down K2, the world’s second-tallest mountain. K2 is so steep and dangerous that Dave Watson, the only American to attempt skiing K2, explains, “If you fall, you’re going to die.”
