On 25 January 2018, Elisabeth Revol and her climbing partner Tomasz
Mackiewicz summited Nanga Parbat, the killer mountain. Situated in
the Karakoram, the world's ninth-highest peak is an immense
ice-armoured pyramid of rock rising to an altitude of 8,125 metres.
Elisabeth and Tomek had completed only the second winter ascent of
the mountain, and Elisabeth had become the first woman to summit
Nanga Parbat in winter. But their euphoria was short-lived. As soon
as they reached the top, their adventure turned into a nightmare as
Tomek was struck by blindness. In her own words, Elisabeth tells
the story of this tragedy and the extraordinary rescue operation
that resounded across the globe as fellow climbers flew in from K2
to help the stricken pair. She confronts her memories, her terror,
her immense pain and the heartbreak of having survived, alone. To
Live is Elisabeth Revol's poignant tribute to her friend and
climbing partner.
