Description

One Mountain Thousand Summits: The Untold Story of Tragedy and True Heroism on K2 by Freddie Wilinson.'K2 is the world's second-highest mountain. 'The Savage Mountain', as it's often called, is regarded by climbers as far more challenging than Everest, and perhaps the most dangerous peak on Earth. When eleven men perished on the slopes of K2 in August 2008, it was one of the single deadliest events in Himalayan climbing, and it made headlines around the world. Yet none of the surviving Western climbers could explain precisely what happened. Their memories were admittedly fogged by exhaustion, hypoxia, and hallucinations. The truth of what occurred lies with four Sherpa guides who were largely ignored by the mainstream media in the aftermath of the tragedy, who lost two of their own during the incident, and whose heroic efforts saved the lives of at least four climbers.'
