I've been following Alan Arnette since Kurt Wedberg's most recent Mt. Everest summit. I was bummed to hear Alan was going to attempt summiting K2. That mountain scares me. In 2013 a Peak Freaks Mt. Everest guide/leader named Marty died on K2 along with his son. I don't care how experienced a climber is that mountain and the weather on it is a killer. I would be deeply sadened if anything happened to Alan. I hate to check Exploers Web for K2 updates but I still do. I hope Alan achieves the summit and returns to the USA whole and I most of all hope his ego will not get in his way and prevent him from turning around, giving up his summit bid if conditions on the mountain turn for the worst.
