Daniel Lag: Most of those missing and presumed dead on K-2 were making their second attempt to reach the peak of the world's second highest mountain. The 33-year-old Scottish climber, Alison Hargreaves, was turned back by bad weather last month just several hundred metres short of the summit. I spoke to Ms Hargreaves and her climbing partner, Rob Slater, from the US a week ago at K-2 base camp. Home 110 Politics 130 World 160 Newsreel Dispatch WjlshNews Community

The weather was clear, but K-2 was covjreh in a blanket of fresh snow. She told mj that co-operation between the three expeditions was a must to clear trails and attach ropes to the towering ice walls and cliffs. She said she was fit and ready for the summit. - Home 110 Politics 130 World 160 Newsreel Dispatch WjlshNews Community
