K2: Life and Death on the World`s Most Dangerous Mountain

Ed Viesturs, one of the world’™s premier high-altitude mountaineers, explores the remarkable history of K2 and of those who attempted to conquer it. Focusing on seven of the mountain’™s most dramatic campaigns, from his own troubled ascent when he and Scott Fischer climbed it in 1992 and got caught in an avalanche that sent them sliding to almost certain death to the 2008 tragedy when 11 mountaineers from an international expedition died on the mountain, Viesturs crafts an edge-of-your-seat narrative that both climbers and armchair travellers alike will find compelling. The book is illustrated with photos from historical sources and from Viesturs’™s own collection.
