'We wanted to represent LFC' - the incredible story of fans' historic K2 climb

After achieving a feat no other human being had before, two Liverpool supporters celebrated with the colours of their football club.

In January, Dawa Temba Sherpa and Gelje Sherpa were among the mountaineers who became the first to ever reach the summit of K2 in winter.

Located on the Pakistan-China border, K2 is the second-tallest mountain in the world and widely considered the hardest to climb, standing at 8,611 metres.

To reach its peak, the Nepali Reds had to withstand unthinkable conditions – tackling vast slopes in temperatures below -40 degrees Celsius, wind speeds of 80 knots, and low oxygen levels.
