Mongolian mountaineer to climb K2. Mongolian mountaineer G.Usukhbayar is planning to climb K2, the second-highest mountain in the world. Rising steeply above the Karakoram Range along the Pakistan-China border and battered by atrocious weather, this pyramid-shaped mountain has always been the ultimate challenge for the world’s best mountaineers—and the graveyard of many of their ambitions. G.Usukhbayar will begin climbing the world's deadliest mountain in June. Before this, he plans to take on Mount Elbrus, the highest mountain in Russia and, also in Europe. He has the experience of having successfully climbed Aconcagua, the highest mountain outside Asia. K2 is 239 meters lower than Everest, but more deadly. Mountaineer G.Usukhbayar is the second Mongolian mountaineer who is going to take on 'Killer' K2 after B.Gangaamaa, a state honored athlete who tried to climb the mountain in July, 2013.
