Sunset on the North Face of Chogolisa, 7,668 meters. In local Balti folklore, Chogolisa is the Bride of K2. Italy's Duke of Abruzzi reached 7,500 meters on Chogolisa in 1908. His attempt set the high altitude record until Mallory passed it on Everest two decades later. Photo: Greg Mortenson BACK TO: [HOME] [DISPATCHES] © 1999 The Zone Network. All rights reserved.
