"The name K2 derives from the notation used by the Great Himalayan Trigonometric Topography Project. In 1856, Thomas Montgomerie made the first exploration of Karakoram from Mount Haramukh, about 210 km to the south, making a drawing of the two most prominent peaks, calling them K1 and K2". "K2 is known as the wild mountain, due to the difficulty to climb it, and also for being the second in percentage of fatalities among all the eight-thousanders, after Annapurna. For every four people who have reached the summit, one has died attempting it".
