It's number two but it tries harder

Interesting piece about K2, the second tallest mountain in the world. While zillions of people have summited Everest these days, only 296 have climbed K2 and the fatality rate is much higher than on Everest.

Could the higher fatality rate be due to the smaller number of climbers, hence less ''institutional knowledge'' of the mountain and its tricks?
