Expeditions from Imagine Nepal and Alpinist Climber Expeditions (ACE) have initiated their perilous journey towards the K2 summit from Camp 3. Despite facing immense challenges, including the absence of Camp 4 and unfixed ropes on critical sections, determined climbers are pushing forward. However, some mountaineers, like Israfil Ashurli, have decided to turn back due to health concerns or perceived risks. The treacherous conditions on K2 demand utmost caution and strategic decision-making from all teams.
