In this pioneering anthology, Clint Willis presents 75 years of
great writing -- from Neil O'Dell to Jon Krakauer -- on the fabled
peaks. Here are stories of two British expeditions to Everest in
the 1920s; a piece on the 1939 K2 attempt that claimed four
climbers' lives; a firsthand account by the Sherpa who reached the
summit of Everest in 1953 with Edmund Hillary; the story of the
first successful American assault on K2 in 1978; a British
photographer's view of the calamitous 1996 storm on Everest; and
many more -- a cornucopia of mountaineering thrills for adventurous
readers.
