The #k2noo2 team of @carla.perez.ec @adrianballinger @estebantopomena @namgye and @pembageljesherpa began up the #abruzziridge route of #k2. We started early, but it was an exceptionally hot day. Almost halfway to camp one, a team of climbers kicked off a wet slide, just below camp one, which the two climbers were sliding and tumbling in. They stated they were "qualified guides." The wet slide hit part of the boot pack and ran to the bottom of the snow (reference last photo). The team retreated. The two climbers descended unharmed and said they were "perfect" and that they often use that technique to descend. We noted they should be more careful with other climbers on route below, but they firmly believed the wet slide didn't come near the route and one climber affirmed he had "thirty years of mountaineering experience." I can confirm, with photos, the side ran over part of the boot pack and fixed lines. In the end, it was relatively uneventful, but I fear for my friends and other climbers on the mountain with this kind of thinking and climbing etiquette. This season, the number of climbers on the mountain are unprecedented. As climbers get higher, inevitably, decision making will be more important and ultimately suffer due to altitude. I wish for nothing more than a safe season for all, summit or not. Stay safe, be cool and have fun out there ✌️ (at K2) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzfRcEblHzr/?igshid=1bds6ecjt1i3h
