11 climbers, adventurers, alienists or whatsoever found the dead on the Himalayan K2 peak since a short time.

K2 is world’s second highest peak, but it is said to be the most dangerous. Let the facts speak: during this year 2600 people reached the Everest peak, and only 305 completed the ascension of K2!

K2 is really a world wonder. Looks great, mysterious and sometimes claims its rights and victims. Seems that the Gods of the peak are sometimes very upset.

The 11 deads from the K2 are victims of lack of experience and melting glacier. Let them rest in peace. I think they died very happy.

In 1986 other 13 people died on K2 due to a strong storm.

K2 is also named Ketu or Qogir, and lies on the border between Pakistani and China, in the Karakoram segment of the himalayan range.

If you heard about canyoning, and want to know more, then you are very good here. Read further!

I recommended you a trip in Mallorca, and it was already canyoning. Introduction, to say.

But what it is canyoning after all? I would define it so: reaching the bottom of a canyon and travelling in it(supposing you should know already what is a canyon). Canyoning, also known as canyonering in the U.S., combines many other sports as walking, trekking, climbing, abseiling, rafting, swimming(but descendings,also abseiling, are usually asociated with canyoning). You must be in the shape and in the mood to make canyoning. Nevertheless, fun, aestethics and beutiful landscapes count more than stretching.

Canyoning can be very simple or extremely difficult, having fans in every age segment. There is special equipment needed.
