Climbers have expressed fury at plans to install ladders on the summit of K2, the second highest mountain in the world which takes the lives of one in four climbers. Mountaineers fear the peak is set to become a tourist destination if steps are installed making the dangerous peak too commercialised. Imagine Nepal, a trekking and expedition agency, said that they want to return to the mountain next year with ladders, drills and bolts after being forced to abandon their ascent last week amid dangerous conditions.
