THE GREATEST ONE WEEK ADVENTURE IN THE WORLD

This is K2, the second highest mountain in the world at 28,741 feet (8762 meters), and harder to climb than Everest. It isn't in the Himalayas, but an even remoter mountain range in Central Asia called the Karakorum.
In the center of the Karakorum range is a confluence of massive glaciers, a legendary uninhabited spot known to mountaineers as Concordia. Legendary because it is by consensus of professional mountaineers and adventurers to be the single most spectacularly scenic place on planet Earth.
At Concordia there are 41 peaks over 21,000 feet within a radius of nine miles. The highest mountains in the world are called "eight-thousanders," higher than 8,000 meters or 26,250 feet. There are 14 such giants, all in either the Himalayas or the Karakorum. At Concordia you can see four all at once. It is unique on earth.
It takes ten days of trekking from the last outpost of civilization - called Skardu - to reach Concordia. Then ten days back. But this July, I am going to take a dozen adventurers to Concordia in a single day - by helicopter.
And that's not all.
