TPZ159: Trekking to K2 Basecamp with Alison Young

from The Pursuit Zone Hosted by Paul Schmid

In the middle of the Karakorum range in Pakistan is a place called Concordia. It's where the Baltoro glacier meets the Godwin-Austen glacier. It's a place known as the throne room of the mountain gods because it's surrounded by four 8,000-meter peaks, one of those being K2 the second highest peak in the world. In 1994 Alison Young found herself in Islamabad visiting her father who was stationed at the US embassy. Wanting to trek to Concordia, she was able to tag along on an overland journey with a Dutch and German couple. It was a difficult and hazardous 25-day trek that you can learn more about at alisonyoungproductions.com. Alison Young, welcome to The Pursuit Zone.
