Just back from an unsuccessful ____ on K2 in the Karakoram of Pakistan, Howkins spoke to The Mountain Zone about that climb and others. In 1996, Howkins climbed Gasherbrum II (8,035 meters) in one 48 hour ____ from ____. A year later, she ____ the base of the ____ pyramid on Kangchenjunga (8,586 meters) — the ____ point reached so far by any woman who survived the ____. And last summer, she was ____ at the second highest mountain on earth. "Part of the experience on a big mountain is that you are necessarily ____ yourself to the limits of ____," she said. "And when you get to that level, you are essentially ____. Even if there are other people on the mountain, or other people on your team that you're climbing with — many times the attrition rate means that you are actually alone, but even if other people are with you, and you ____ there is nothing they can do for you. So any safety net your companions provide is essentially emotional or psychological, not real. Yes, I enjoy that extreme situation. I'm confident I can ____ that, and ____ my own physical condition."
