14.99 €
Scott Fisher is a mountain guide, founder of Mountain Madness, and the first American to summit Lhotse. Many have heard of him as an organizer of commercial expeditions, especially to Everest.
But in 1996, while descending from the summit, Fischer's team was caught in a snowstorm. All the climbers except Scott managed to make it to Camp IV on the South Saddle. Due to numerous problems, including health problems, he simply did not have enough strength to descend... An incredible number of books and movies have been written about that tragedy, but who Scott really was - is silent. Was he a reckless merrymaker or a man devoted to the mountains and his life principles? In this biography, author Robert Birkby introduces you to the real Scott Fisher. You'll go on expeditions to Alaska and Tanzania, climb Elbrus and Ama Dablam, and you'll also learn which peak Fisher named his daughter after.
