The picture of strength and health - each of the three men lost on K2. Those who climb these mountains are that. If you click through for their photos you'll see what I mean.
Why one would try to climb a rock like this in brutally cold weather I do not know. I can only guess that if you have that kind of strength there must be great joy in experiencing it, in building it, exulting in the glory of the vistas. But the cold...wind...Maybe it's the solidarity too.

Hopes Fade For 3 Missing Climbers On K2, Last Seen 3 Days Ago - Rock and IceJohn Snorri site
As of 3:30 am, Monday, February 8, 2021,(Pakistan Standard Time), John Snorri, Muhammad Ali Sadpara, and Juan Pablo (JP) Mohr Prieto remain missing, with no trace of them found after multiple helicopter searches.
We are learning more about what happened at the Bottleneck directly from Ali’s son, Sajid. Of note, he said he and his father were climbing without supplemental oxygen but had a bottle in their pack for emergencies. Also, when he left the three missing climbers, they had no radio or satellite phone. He believes they summited and had an accident on the descent in the Bottleneck, but he cannot be sure.
There has been no official communication from Snorri or Ali or JP’s home teams to the public.
