Four climbers are reportedly missing.  This was one of the last attempts for the season on K2.  Very sad news.  Hopefully the missing climbers somehow survived.

The four Russian climbers have been confirmed dead. The avalanche struck on Sunday, August 13. This is very sad news see the full story at               http://www.k2climb.net/news.php?id=14101
Hopefully we can remember these climbers by keeping on climbing and never forgetting.
