Just watching 'Cold' documentary. -46degC at the moment at ~8000m
They're climbing Gasherbrum II, going down now 'where everyone dies' past a bunch of bodies.
Fuck that shit.
On February 2, 2011, Cory Richards, Denis Urubko, and Simone Moro became the first to ascend Gasherbrum II in winter. Despite being buried by a class-four avalanche, they reached the summit at 11:30 am, without supplemental oxygen or porters. Richards, who was the first American to climb an eight-thousander in winter, filmed the expedition, which he turned into the film Cold.[28][29]
