- Movie Goof (factual errors): In the opening, Annie (the third person) was belaying Peter (the second) up the pitch he was climbing. In a three person rope team, the leader would belay the second person up, not the third. Because Annie was belaying Peter, Peter was essentially on lead and should have been placing protection on his way up. In addition, since his father already led that pitch, the gear that he placed should have still been in the crack.
- Movie Goof (errors in geography): In the film it is shown that the Pakistani Army often start firing toward the Indian side. The region of K2 and its base camps are very far from the Indian borders. The Pakistani Army in the film uses the Bofors guns which do not have enough range so as to reach or cross the Indian borders.
- Movie Goof (continuity error): When climber from right side dropped his red bag it passed behind father's back. So he had to be positioned right above him. But in next shot when same climber got unhooked we saw that he was positioned left from father.
- Movie Goof (factual errors): The range of the two-way radios the climbers were using was greatly exaggerated by the film. The small UHF stub antennas on the radios would not have a very great range, certainly not enough to be heard from within a cave to a base camp (presumably) several kilometers away, and particularly not without line of sight.
