K2’s LOW PAID Porters
I recently posted a poll about the loss of life of Pakistani porter Mohammad Hassan at 8200 meters on K2 in July 2023. The poll question asked if people think that the mountaineering community should take a greater responsibility in ensuring that mountain workers like Hassan are paid better wages. Hassan was making about $20 a day working as a high altitude porter in the Death Zone with zero high altitude experience when he passed away.
I was surprised to see the answers to the poll.
Here is a fantastic video with a climber who witnessed this tragedy:
