Pakistani rescuers have saved one climber and tried to help another stranded on K2, the world's second-highest peak, as the death toll from an ice avalanche rose to 11. |

Gerard McDonnell, an oil worker from Limerick who had just become the first Irishman to reach the 8,611m (28,251ft) summit in northern Pakistan, was among the missing and has been given up for dead, according to one of his friends. |

Because they can. Because its there. Because there is no law against it, because they like to extend themselves, because meeting a challenge is good, because a sense of achievement is gained, because they are doing something that others can't do, because it's better than sitting in an office, because they thrive on adrenaline, because they don't want to conform to mundane banal city life, because they are ambitious, because they are getting sponsored, because....well, just because. |
