Do you run? Why are you posting this question here?
You say you and your wife are avid climbers and eat healthy, count calories, but don't mention anything about running. You're going to take her to climb K2 to get her fit???? Wouldn't she need to get fit first?
This and the religious objections stuff you threw in on page 2 leads me to think... Troll.
The K1 is considered beginners-level in climbing circles. As I said, my main concern is that I doubt equipment exists that can be used to hoist my daughter up the mountain. I've looked at various sherpa-establishments, and all were adamant that their mountain goats cannot heave more than 175 lbs to the summit.
