Description
Everest Alone at the Summit
A gripping account of one of the greatest feats of twentieth century mountaineering. In 1988, Stephen Venables led three unknown American climbers up the East Face of Everest without oxygen, a challenge that tested their endurance and resolve.
This thrilling tale of human determination is as much about the risks and uncertainties of high-altitude climbing as it is about the triumph over doubt and adversity.
