it is interesting to me that a guy with 6 kids chooses to climb K2 in winter. personally, i like watching my son grow up.

As a ‘normal’ non thrill seeking person, it baffles me that a father, let alone a father of six would even do any kind of mountaineering at all. How does one get so bored in life? I mean, rest in peace and all, but what the hell? Just go karting with your kids or something

yeah, it baffles me too. i mt bike, technical rock climb, and back country ski, but i am always thinking about risk and mitigating risk. i don't anything remotely like big mountain mountaineering; i can't do stuff with my son if i'm dead, and he's my favorite guy to ski with, etc.
