5.0
Amazing recount of this expedition that was impacted by a series of events that ultimately led to significant loss of lives. This book gives appreciation to the work and mindset of the high altitude porters who are essential partners in every major summit attempt and also clarifies the extreme conditions of K2.
This book provides a little background into the thought process of attempting such feats. Still, as a common adventurer I lack the understanding of what motivates some to attempt such a feat, when the odds of success are low, and the impact of failure is so high.
