(The pre-dawn darkness swallows the K2 base camp at 3 AM. The air is thin, biting cold at 400 meters elevation. You stand alone, gear checked, oxygen denied. This is the Savage Mountain, the second tallest peak on Earth, notorious for its deadly allure. It is your life’s ambition to conquer it. The silence is absolute, heavy with the weight of mortality. You take your first step into the void.)
