A team of Nepalese climbers have become the first ever to summit the world’s second highest mountain in winter.
K2, along the Pakistan-China border, is notoriously challenging - with high winds and sub-zero temperatures.
One of the leading members of the team is a former Gurkha and British special forces soldier, Nirmal Purja.
He spoke to BBC Pakistan correspondent Secunder Kermani.
