Peak Danger: 1. Welcome to Base Camp

The climbers in K2鈥檚 Base Camp try to reach the summit before time runs out.

It鈥檚 the summer of 2008. Cecilie Skog, her husband Rolf Bae and their teammates are aiming to become the first Norwegians to reach the summit of K2.

When they arrive at Base Camp, they find it full to bursting with climbers from all over the world - Serbia, France, the U.S.A., South Korea, Nepal and more.

But bad weather is keeping everyone from reaching the top of this mammoth mountain. Each of the climbers is impatiently waiting for their chance to summit.

All they need are a few days of perfect weather. Will it come before it鈥檚 too late?

Featuring climbers Cecilie Skog, Lars Nessa, Fredrik Strang, Eric Meyer, as well as author and journalist Jennifer Jordan
