Drama on K2: Tyrolean aid arrived in Pakistan

A Pakistani porter was left dying on K2 in 2023. Tyrolean Wilhelm Steindl, who was also on an expedition to the second highest mountain on earth, built a future for the bereaved in Pakistan.

July of the previous year: Pakistani mountaineer Muhammad Hassan (27) lay in the bottleneck traverse below the summit of the second highest mountain on earth. Countless alpinists climbed past him without helping. The Kirchberg mountaineer Willi Steindl, who had previously turned around below the bottleneck, uncovered the scandal. The worldwide outrage was huge. Of course, only one person acted - the Tyrolean.
