He Lied About the K2 Summit—Caught on Camera

Video Description

It's August 13th, 2010. A weather-beaten Austrian mountaineer makes a satellite phone call from K2 Base Camp to his support team back home. When they picked up, his voice trembled with joy and tears as he announced, "I did it!" The summit photos were breathtaking. Every mountaineering magazine in Europe wanted his story. There was just one problem. Everything was perfect. Too perfect. And sometimes when something seems too good to be true, it's because it is. From an Austrian speed climber whose record attempt defied physics to a Spanish doctor who came within 39 feet of K2's summit, these are the biggest K2 lies ever caught on camera.
