Opis

New York Times reporter Graham Bowley documents the deadliest day in the history of the world's deadliest mountain, as he details the harrowing events which claimed the lives of 11 climbers (from seven different countries) near the summit of K2 on August 1, 2008. Bowley describes how the deaths of two climbers early in the day caused delays which prevented 18 climbers from reaching the summit until very late. Then, a massive wall of ice collapsed, severing the guide rope and stranding most of the climbers above the ice fall, and leaving them with a horrific decision--try to survive the frigid night with no shelter or try to descend the sheer ice in pitch darkness with inadequate equipment. Bowley's riveting narrative ranges from the depths of despair, as one climber witnesses her husband getting swept away in the avalanche, to the heights of heroism, as people from various parts of the world risk--and sometimes lose--their lives fighting to rescue strangers.
