Description

Willi Unsoeld's ascent of the West Ridge of Everest in 1963 cemented his status as one of the greatest climbers of the twentieth century. A charismatic professor of philosophy, Unsoeld's fearlessness and physical power inspired a generation of adventurers. However, it was during an expedition to Nanda Devi in 1976 that Unsoeld's philosophy of spiritual growth through mortal risk was put to the ultimate test. The outcome of this expedition continues to fuel debate among mountaineers, making for a gripping narrative that blends action with ethics and fame with tragedy. This book offers a compelling look at Unsoeld's life and climbs, exploring the complexities of his ambition and the anguish of those who loved him.
