K2: The Ultimate High Movie Review 1992

Two men, one a skirt-chasing lawyer, the other a happily married physicist, tackle the world's second largest mountain--the K-2 in Kashmir, northern Pakistan. They encounter a number of dangers, including an ascent of sheer rock face, an avalanche, and a fall down perpendicular mountain ice, but even the exciting mountain-climbing scenes can't hold up this watered down movie. The film was actually shot on Canada's Mount Waddington. Based on the play by Patrick Meyers.
