Mr. Chhiring Dorje Sherpa has summit the Everest 10 time, He said K2 is a steep and dangerous peak.
He said that in future if he climb K2 he will not climbed from the Bottle Neck, He will use the rout from 8000 to South Rock Face of K2 which is only 500 meter and which will reduce the casualties in future.
This rout will be difficult first time but for the followers will not difficult if we fix the rope properly on this rout.
