Deadly descent. Tragedy on one of the most difficult peaks in the world - K2
14.99 €
The summit of K2, or Chogori, has been dubbed "Wild Mountain" because of the extreme difficulty of the ascent. Its height is 8611 meters - it is the northernmost eight-thousand-meter peak in the world and the third peak after Annapurna and Nanga Parbat in terms of mortality. In August 2008, 11 climbers from several expeditions died on the ascent - such a number of casualties in a single season has not been seen in the mountain's history. The authors of the book conducted unprecedented research, conducted more than 200 interviews and were able to reconstruct the real story of the tragedy, including through the candid accounts of Pakistani and Nepalese high-altitude porters. The book is supplemented with biographies of famous climbers, stories about other attempts to climb K2 and the mythology of the region.
