by zopemaster — published May 19, 2004 — last modified Jul 07, 2021 01:03 AM — filed under: , ,
To mark the 50th anniversary of the first ascent of the K2 summit in the Himalayas the Italian Alpine Association is organising several treks to the mountain's base camps. Up to 60,000 people are expected to pass through some of the intermediate camps this year.
