Description
On August 1, 2008, eight international teams of climbers ascended K2, the world's second-highest mountain. But disaster struck when a huge ice chunk came loose above a deadly gully, destroying fixed guide ropes and leaving over a dozen climbers without protection or oxygen. As night fell, these climbers faced an almost impossible task: descending in the darkness with no guideline to rely on. The outcome was far from certain, as some would miraculously make it back while others would not survive. In this gripping narrative nonfiction account, journalist Graham Bowley re-creates one of the most dramatic tales of death and survival in mountaineering history. With meticulous attention to detail, Bowley recounts the events of that fateful night, bringing to life the intense drama and high stakes of K2's deadly slope.
