Italian page[edit]

@Teseo created voy:it:Trekking al Campo Base del K2 earlier this year, and I have linked the two pages. WhatamIdoing (talk) 16:20, 6 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

Adding in the line of a route[edit]

Swept in from the pub

Have been working on K2 base camp trek. The article on Everest_Base_Camp_Trek#Walk has a nice line for the route. Anyone about to help add the same for K2 base camp? Unable to figure it out. I think one needs to add something from OSM to Wikidata. But the issue is that this trek is not one single line on OSM. Travel Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 03:29, 6 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

@Doc James I made a small tutorial at User:SHB2000/Getting a line on an itinerary. Try following those steps, and if those don't work, let me know – I'll try and help. SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta.wikimedia) 06:08, 6 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

Altitude sickness[edit]

What should this article say about this risk?

Driving from Skardu at 2200-odd meters to Askole or Jhola at 3000-odd looks quite likely to make some people ill. Is there an intermediate stop one might consider? If you are coming from sea level, how long should you spend in Skardu before going higher?

I'd be inclined to plan on spending at least two days in Askole or Jhola before venturing higher, but are there any good places to stay? Pashley (talk) 16:47, 9 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

I started K2_base_camp_trek#Stay_safe, but it could likely be improved. Pashley (talk) 17:15, 9 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
