Ascent Trip Report

I've trekked in 6 continents, including many of the more famous trips (Everest, Kilimanjaro, Milford track, Tour du Mont Blanc, etc), but the trek to Concordia is by far the most awe-inspiring, beautiful & fulfilling trek I've ever done. Kilkey Memorial/K2 Basecamp was the highpoint achieved. Furthermore I met my future wife on the trip!
