01 / THE STORY

The deadliest day on the world's most dangerous mountain.

In August 2008, 22 international climbers converged on High Camp of K2, the last stop before the summit. Forty-eight hours later, 11 had been killed or simply vanished into thin air. At the heart of `The Summit' lies a mystery about one extraordinary man, Ger McDonnell, the first Irishman to summit K2.
