Above the Cold: Stories of Legendary Climbers About Moments on the Brink of Life and Death
9.99 €
The book "Above the Cold: Stories of Legendary Climbers on the Edge of Life and Death" is a comprehensive journalistic investigation into the phenomenon of winter mountaineering. It is a chronicle of risk, ambition, and the ultimate human will. The authors recreate, step by step, the most daring and controversial expeditions—from the first winter victory on Everest in 1980 to Simone Moro's unique records, which he conquered four eight-thousanders in winter.
At the center of the story is a drama that the world watched almost live in January 2018: the rescue of French climber Elisabeth Revol on the slopes of Nanga Parbat—the "killer mountain"—and the death of her partner, Tomasz Mackiewicz. This is a story of courage and tragedy, hope and irreversibility. Elisabeth's candid interview will not leave you indifferent.
You'll learn how extreme cold alters thinking, erases fear, and blurs the line between calculation and madness. Where is the line drawn before a dream becomes an obsession, and why for some, the summit isn't a destination, but the only way to feel alive.
The main question remains: what drives climbers to return to places where the chance of rescue is nil?
This book is about the price of altitude and about people who rise above the cold—even if only wind and silence await them at the summit.
The newest book in the "World of Adrenaline: Books about Extreme Sports" series will help you understand what drives climbers.
