Very tragic. K2 is a beast of a mountain. Adding skiing to the equation makes it immensely harder. RIP! and thanks for the inspiration!!!

Fredrick ericsson was an other skier who was an inspiration. I always enjoyed reading through his blog, to see how the K2 attempt was going. It's pretty crazy how another skier who has been pushing the imits, was taken away by such tragic consequences. R.I.P.. Jah love!! Bless.

RIP.

In the article it says 299 people have summited K2 and 78 have died trying... that's a 1 in 5 chance you'll die trying to climb it. Scary stuff.

Holy shit, just climbing K2 is an accomplishment few can claim.... Skiing it is absolutely insane. Huge respect to the guy for trying, its people like this that inspire me to keep doing what I do.
