SINGAPORE – In the heart of the Karakoram range in Pakistan, a fleeting break in the poor weather granted Ms Vincere Zeng and Ms Sim Phei Sunn a narrow window of opportunity to make history.
The two Singaporean women had spent seven days scaling the face of K2 which, at 8,611m, is the world’s second-tallest mountain. Adverse conditions – heavy snowfall, wind and fog – had dimmed their hopes of reaching the top.
But on July 27, the bad weather cleared up, allowing the pair to make the final push and become the first two local women to ascend K2.
