'Shortest 14 Peaks Complete' Female Mountaineer Suspected of Ignoring Dying Porter Dangling from Rope

Record for Completing 14 Peaks Over 8000m in the Shortest Time
"Continued Climbing Despite Injury Reports on K2" Suspicion
Video Capturing the Situation Shared on SNS

A Norwegian female mountaineer who succeeded in completing 14 peaks over 8,000 meters in the shortest period has been accused of passing by a dying porter without helping.

According to CNN in the United States on the 11th (local time), Christine Hargreaves (37) summited K2, the second highest peak in the world, last month. However, this achievement is at risk of being overshadowed by allegations raised by an Austrian climber. It is claimed that Hargreaves and about fifty other climbers passed by a Pakistani porter who was hanging upside down on a rope. The porter, named Muhammad Hassan, eventually died.

The situation where climbers passed by Hassan is captured in drone footage and shared on social media. Cameraman Philipp Flammig stated in an interview with The Standard, "More than fifty people passed by Hassan while he was still alive. There are also three other witnesses."

Hargreaves completely denied the allegations. She explained to CNN, "We were there but did not see the accident happen. We saw him hanging on the rope later and tried to rescue him." She added, "We tried to save Hassan for several hours, but after hearing that an avalanche had started, we had to leave the site for the safety of the team."

Hargreaves is actively addressing the allegations through her website and social media as well. She expressed outrage over the reality of videos and photos depicting the tragic situation being shared without consent, saying, "We did everything we could."
