Totally exceeded expectations. It’s easy to just concentrate on the summit attempt, but the entire trek was just spectacular. I had no idea how stunning the scenery would be throughout – each day was amazing. It was a hugely rewarding experience. The fact the trek to base camp was such an amazing experience in itself almost took the pressure off getting to the summit – that was just an added bonus! The culture, scenery, food, guides and local team made it so special.
The fact that the scenery was ever-changing and just seemed to get better round every corner. The sunrise on summit day, seeing K2 in the distance and being able to spend about an hour on the summit because the weather conditions were amazing.
