What is Successful Ratio of Climbing K2?

score:6

Accepted answer

According to this link there where 306 people climbing K2, 30 of which died. This would result in a fatality rate of ca. 10%. This table only includes actual successful ascents.

This list lists 80 fatalities including those who died during the ascent. I couldn't find any number of attempted ascents though.

On another note the success rate seems to have gotten higher those last years than in the past.
