K2: Some background and History

　　喬戈裏峰的歷史背景

　　The local name of K2 is Chogori, which in Balti language means the king of mountains. This name is little known outside of Pakistan. It is, therefore, desirable that - K2 be used.

　　K2在當地巴拉提土語的名字是“喬戈裏”，意思是“群山之王”。這個名字在巴基斯坦國土之外極少為世人所知。因此，K2就成了理所當然的名字了。

　　K2 has variously been described as the "awesome", "killer" and "savage" mountain. This is because of its massiveness in size and the numerous unsuccessful attempts made on it by various expeditions, including many American expeditions, who have made quite a few unsuccessful attempts.

　　喬戈裏峰在不同的時間裏曾被描述成“令人敬畏的”“殺手”和“野蠻之峰”。這是由於它高大魁偉的山姿，也由於包括美國登山隊在內的許多登山隊在喬戈裏峰上都歷經了無數次失敗的攀登嘗試。

　　K2 is a rocky mountain up to 6000 meters, beyond which it becomes an ocean of snow. The K2 peak is situated on the Pak-China border in the mighty Karakoram range. The traditional route to its base camp goes from Skardu, which is linked with Islamabad by a good road. From Skardu the route goes via Shigar-Dassu-Askole up to Concordia over the Baltoro glacier. The exact height of the peak is 8,611 meters/28,251 ft.

　　喬戈裏峰直到海拔6000米的地方都是巖石峰體，在這範圍之上覆蓋著一望無際的冰雪。喬戈裏頂峰處於雄偉的喀喇昆侖山脈的中巴邊境上。伊斯蘭堡和斯卡都（巴基斯坦巴爾蒂斯坦首府）之間有條路況良好的大路相連接，因此通往大本營的傳統路線都是從斯卡都起程的。從斯卡都出發，通過施迦--達蘇--阿斯科爾直到巴爾托洛冰川上的肯考迪婭峰。喬戈裏頂峰的確切海拔高度是8,611米（28,251英尺）。

　　It was in 1856, when the British were enforcing their control over India, provoking the 1857-War-of-lndependence, that a young Lieutenant of the Royal Engineers, T.G. Montgomerie, was quietly busy in surveying the mountains of Kashmir. During this survey he saw, in the far distance, a tall and conspicuous mountain in the direction of the Karakorams and immediately named it K1 (K stands for Karakorams). Later on, it turned out to be the beautiful mountain of Hushe valley in Khaplu area of Baltistan, called Masherbrum by locals. He also saw another tall and dominating summit behind K1 and named it K2, which turned out to be "Chogori". The name K2, however, still stands.
