A pyramid of stones and rocks, a pile of tin dishes, plates and engravings, which has an immense significance for those who have climbed the mountains, Gilkey the pyramid is a monument common for those who lost their lives on K2. The "mountain of mountains", the most hard to get the most ruthless and for those who try to deal with superficiality.
The first stone was laid in 1954 when the Italians conquered the K2 and the rise and tragic difficiele lost their lives for Mario Puchoz Aplin. The Gilkey Memorial was erected in his memory, but it soon became a symbol to remind everyone that the mountain has ruthlessly stopped trying to climb.
This pile of stones will be very little in front of the impressive surrounding mountains but the meaning is no doubt that emanates beyond imagination. Probably not easy if not impossible to describe the feelings and the sacredness of this "monument".
