Broadway Books.

A thrilling chronicle of the tragedy-ridden history of climbing the world's most difficult and unpredictable ain, by the bestselling authors of The ain and No Shortcuts to the Top Ed Viesturs, one of the world's premier high-altitude aineers, explores the remarkable history of K2 and of those who have attempted to conquer it. At the same time, he probes the ain's most memorable sa in order to illustrate lessons about the fundamental questions aineering raises—questions of risk, ambition, loyalty to one's teammates, self-sacrifice, and the price of glory. Viesturs knows the ain firsthand. He and renowned alpinist Scott Fischer climbed it in 1992 and got caught in an avalanche that sent them sliding to almost certain death before Ed managed to get into a self-arrest position with his ice ax and stop both his fall and Scott's. Focusing on seven of the ain's most dramatic campaigns, from his own troubled ascent to the 2008 tragedy, Viesturs crafts an edge-of-your-seat narrative that climbers and armchair travelers alike will find unforgettably compelling. With photographs from Viesturs's personal collection and from historical sources, this is the definitive account of the world's ultimate ain, and of the lessons that can be gleaned from struggling toward its elusive summit.
