“Two months of hard work has finally paid off,” team leader Sherpa said, adding that the ordeal showed that a successful ascent was possible.
All the climbers have now begun their descent to the lower camps, the team leader added.
Mount K2 is considered as one of the world’s deadliest mountains to climb which had claimed at least 84 lives so far.
According to a climbing record, less than 500 climbers have been able to make it to the K2 summit point.
