Aftermath
After his adventures came to a halt, Wickwire was still able to return to have a relationship with his wife, children, and now his grandchildren. His wife had supported him during the years that he was a risk taker in the mountains. She never gave up hope and always told their children that their daddy was coming home.
The film K2 is based very loosely on Wickwire and Reichardt's 1978 K2 attempt, since there are significant differences between the film and reality.
Wickwire is a retired attorney living in Seattle, Washington.
