This was probably one of the most terrifying experiences I’ve had while solo climbing. Took absolutely every ounce of strength I could muster to keep holding onto my tools.

I was on edge about posting this to social media, but it seemed too insane that I had caught it on camera to not. Grateful for years of experience and training in stressful situations to keep me calm and allow me to make it through this freak situation and get back home safe.

The famous Bottleneck traverse on K2.
@livsansoz
Stoked to be alone! We were able to keep a decent pace despite the altitude (here were are between 8100m and 8200m)

@jordan_manoukian On the way to the Ama Dablam, those who have seen Kaizen, you must have seen these drones, the highest of my young career.
Hope you enjoyed it!

Context:
9 brits and 1 American on a guided tour of the Tian Shan mountains in Kyrgyzstan. We’d just reached the highest point in the trek and I separated from the group to take pictures on top of a hill/ cliff edge. While I was taking pictures I heard the sound of deep ice cracking behind me. This is where the video starts. As I was there for a few minutes already, I knew there was a spot right next to me to shelter. I was on a cliff edge, so the only place to run was towards the avalanche and away from the shelter next to me (hence why I don’t move). Yes I left it to the last second to move, and yes I know it would have been safer moving to the shelter straight away. I’m very aware that I took a huge risk by filming but wanted to make the most of this opportunity!
After the video ends, the snow was all around me. It was dark and hard to breathe, but I was only covered by a light layer of snow. Once it was over, the adrenaline rush hit me. I knew the rest of the group was further away from the avalanche so should be okay. When I rejoined them I could see they were all safe, the only person that was injured was the only person who tried to run away. She got knocked over while she was running and cut her knee.
The whole group was laughing and crying, happy to be alive (including the girl who cut her knee). It was only later we realised just how lucky we’d been. If we have walked 5 minutes further on our trek, we would all be dead. The path we were suppose to take was completely covered by the landslide/ avalanche. Massive ice boulders and rocks had been spread further than we could have run, even if we acted immediately.
Why do people climb this 👇
Located just 400m below the summit of K2, the bottleneck is an infamous couloir. The narrow path is framed by a steep (50-60deg) drop & overhanging seracs - making it both treacherous & dramatic. It is commonly referred to as the most dangerous section of the mountain.
Despite all the dangers, the Bottleneck is still technically the easiest and fastest route to the summit. While it is possible to bypass this section of the route by climbing the cliffs just to the left, due to the technical difficulty that route has only been completed once in the history of K2.
Thank you to HIMALI Athlete @pemba_sharwa for this incredible perspective & letting us follow along. We are happy you made it home safe after a successful summit.
And as always, thank you to the support teams that make big expeditions possible.

Mount Alpamayo
@robrtomorales Alpamayo is a stunning and iconic mountain located in the Cordillera Blanca range of the Peruvian Andes. Known for its near-perfect pyramid shape, Alpamayo is often considered one of the most beautiful mountains in the world. It stands at an elevation of approximately 5,947 meters (19,511 feet) above sea level.
Alpamayo is particularly popular among mountaineers and photographers due to its steep, ice-covered faces and dramatic ridges. The mountain's most famous view is from the northwest, where its distinctive fluted ice face creates a striking visual of vertical and horizontal lines. This view has been widely photographed and has contributed to the mountain's reputation as a natural wonder.
While it is not the highest peak in the Cordillera Blanca, Alpamayo is one of the most technically challenging to climb, requiring advanced ice climbing skills. The ascent usually involves climbing steep ice walls and negotiating crevasses, making it a sought-after destination for experienced climbers.
