Description
No Way Down: Life and Death on K2 is a heart-stopping account of a brutal struggle for survival on the upper slopes of the Himalayan K2, the world's most hostile terrain. On August 1st, 2008, thirty climbers attempted the summit, but their descent was about to become a desperate fight for life.
A catastrophic ice shelf collapse swept away their ropes, plunging them into darkness, with low oxygen levels and freezing temperatures. The question on everyone's mind was: how many would make it down alive? This gripping hour-by-hour dissection of events over three deadly days is a thrilling drama of heroism, sadness, and extraordinary endurance against all the odds.
