Invited to climb K2 but have no real training

[Bill]

I don't know much, details are still a bit sketchy but I'm leaning toward doing this. I know it will be cold but I have plenty of hats. What the guy told me was that the sandwiches keep well at high altitude. Perhaps the IPOD is trading bait with the mukluks we have to hire to carry our gear? I am finding out about this

Mukluks work better carrying your gear when you put them on your feet.

I say go. You'll be fine. In fact, hats are the only thing you need worry with bringing. And a rain jacket. It's the rainy season near the summit. That's why there are so many fatalities. The mudslides. I'd bring Bailey's instead of the iPod. It'll trade better.

Stop trying to get this poor soul killed, it's impolite.

Braincrusher, you'll die. Do you want to die? There's easier ways. Google it.

Well, if you want to commit suicide but don't fancy throwing yourself in front of a train or off of a bridge. This is certainly another almost surefire way to go about achieving the same thing...

This is just asking for a shark attack.

 

[RetrogradeOrbit]

They have sharks on K2 as well....? F**k that, I'm never going up there then.

Isn't the League of Shadows hideout on K2? So sharks aren't the only danger, there's also ninjas.

Guy i work with claims I can tag along on his big climb up K2. Says he has all the gear I would need. I was told to just bring my IPOD and some peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Problem is I have very little experience as a climber. I can tie some basic knots and can drive my spiked boots into the mountain but I can't always pull myself up. I have 2 weeks to train, should I go ahead with this?

Before you consider, find out if this guy owes anyone some money.

Bald ninjas.

I went to a golf course once and rolled down a hill.

[braincrusher]

sharks on sleds. The horror

Well Snow Sharks are especially dangerous. I've read there are some great whites on K2. I'm surprised your friend didn't mention them.

 

[knowsbleed]

Look man, if you don't provide us with any decent updates as to the status of this... we'll have to let you die. You must keep us informed otherwise we can't help you.

I have a new favorite poster.

At least there are no sharks on K2. You're golden!

And don't invite your girlfriend. She'll definitely ***** about the heating on K2.

Scientific proof. I know it's valid, because I found it on the internet.

I also found this horrifying documentary about a real encounter with a snow shark.
.....which I now realize I can't post because a guy says "god ******".






So I'll post this instead.

Here's the update. I did some google search and realized the mountain is far away, like outside the united states far. Will i need a passport? I saw a movie recently where a guy hides in a plane with animals. Is this an option if passport is not acquired?

 

[Lighthouse]

You bet.

Seriously???!!! You need a passport whenever you go out of the country & trying to scale a mountain on 2 weeks of training is not going to cut it. You'll need FAR more extensive training & equipment besides PBJs sandwiches. You're probably just making stuff to see peoples reactions, BUT in the slight chance you are serious & do decide on this farce of trip, you'll probably end up in the frozen food aisle.

I can't wait until K2 permabans you.

I think the plane with animals idea is a good one.

 

[chaseter]

Do Yeti calls and try to capture one.
