Norwegian mountaineer Kristin Harila has denied her team stepped over a dying helper while attempting to set a world record on K2, the world’s second highest mountain.
Harila, 37, and her guide Tenjen Sherpa, 35, set a new record by scaling the world’s 14 highest peaks in just 92 days.
But the record has ignited controversy over whether reaching the summit to break the world record was prioritised over helping dying Pakistani porter Mohammed Hassan.
Videos have since emerged showing mountaineers stepping over the 27-year-old father-of-three.
