The 1939 American Karakoram expedition to K2 was the unsuccessful second attempt by American mountaineers to climb the then-unclimbed second-highest mountain in the world, K2, following the 1938 reconnaissance expedition. Fritz Wiessner, the leader of the expedition, and Pasang Dawa Lama got to within 800 feet (240 m) of the summit via the Abruzzi Ridge – a difficult and arduous route – with Wiessner doing practically all the lead climbing. Through a series of mishaps, one of the team members, Dudley Wolfe, was left stranded near the top of the mountain after his companions had descended to base camp. Three attempts were made to rescue Wolfe. On the second attempt three Sherpas reached him after he had been alone for a week at over 24,000 feet (7,300 m) but he refused to try to descend. Tw

  • Americká expedice do pohoří Karákóram roku 1939 měla za cíl dobytí druhé nejvyšší hory světa K2 (8611 m). Ačkoliv výprava dosáhla tehdy rekordní výšky na této hoře, tragédie, která se odehrála při sestupu, úspěch zastínila a vedla ke kritice účastníků, především pak , který byl jejím vůdcem a zároveň i nejsilnějším lezcem.
