AN INVESTIGATION is being launched following the death of a K2 climber near the peak of the world’s most dangerous mountain.
It follows shocking footage of other sherpas “stepping over” him in a bid to reach the summit.

The Pakistani porter, named Mohammed Hassan, could be seen laying in the snow after being injured from a fall.
The accusations surrounding events on July 27 on K2, the world’s second-highest peak, overshadowed a record established by Norwegian climber Kristin Harila and her Sherpa guide Tenjin.
By climbing K2 that day, they became the world’s fastest climbers, scaling the world’s 14 highest mountains in 92 days.
Harila denied any responsibility surrounding the 27-year-old’s death after he reportedly slipped and fell off a narrow trail known as the bottleneck.
She took to Instagram on Friday to tell of her “anger” towards people who were blaming others for the dad-of-three’s death – saying that no one was at fault.
