The summer 2025 Karakorum for the 8000-meter peaks is over, and what a season it was. There were summits, deaths, disappointments and survivals. Was it a “successful” season? I’ll leave that judgment to others—but honestly, it often felt like safety took a back seat to ambition.

Summits:

K2- 42 with two deaths

Broad Peak: 0

Gashbrum II: 0

Gasherbrum I: 17

Nanga Parbat: 25 with one death#K2025

Climb On!
