National Geographic Live! - K2: Danger and Desire on the Savage Mountain

I cannot identify with someone who scales a mountain in -27 degree weather, just because it's there. One in four people have died trying to summit K2. While Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner clearly has a lot of respect for the danger, it is still amazing to reflect on her incredible patience and ability to maintain reason when things are not going well and the temptation to forge ahead is very strong. A really fascinating example of crazy people.
