If you were going to write a stereotypical mountain-climb-gone-wrong story about stiff upper-lip types (though American), this is what you'd end up with ... although, frankly, I see nothing wrong with that.

| Book description |
|
This is the dramatic story of the 1953 American expedition that was dealt a combination of terrible storms and illness, which stopped the climbers short of summit. It is the story, renowned in the annals of climbing, of how they made it back to safety after tragedy struck on the descent.
K2, The Savage Mountain captures this sensational tale with an unmatched power that has earned this book its place as one of the classics of mountaineering literature.
