!!This film contains examples of:
* TheAllegedCar: The vehicles that take the expedition to K2 are...not reliable.
* EverythingTryingToKillYou: As is typical of Himalayan mountains. Even the car trip is dangerous.
* HairTriggerAvalanche: The team tells of an incident the previous year, when a chunk of ice came loose and torn out the fixed ropes the expedition at the time was using. As a result, many of them were lost on the mountian.
* MultiNationalTeam: The main climbers are American, German and British.
* PlotParallel: The modern climbers are shown interspersed with accounts from Duke Amadeo's expedition a hundred years before, as they have some of the exact same experiences, [[spoiler:up to having to turn back before summiting]].
* ScalingTheSummit: Climbing up K2, of course. [[spoiler:They wind up turning back before getting there.]]
* SceneryPorn: K2 is situated among some of the most spectacular vistas in the world, and the cameras, modern and old, just love it.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: the climbers tell how some people, once they get to Condordia, and are faced with the towering mountains themselves, decide they want out right then and there.
* ShoutOut: Fabrizion laughingly says ''Film/VerticalLimit'' was an actual documentary. There are a couple of clips from it as well.
