- Loretan is often credited with bringing fast-and-light style to
the highest mountains - New foreword by bestselling writer David
Roberts On October 5, 1995, Erhard Loretan became the third person
to climb all fourteen 8000-meter peaks, and the second to climb
them without supplemental oxygen. He also became one of only a
handful of individuals to climb Everest via the Hornbein Couloir;
he and Jean Troillet completed the roundtrip climb in only 43
hours. An influential climber, Loretan's story has never before
been told in English. He writes with humor, often deprecating his
own accomplishments, and he is shockingly honest: On Cho Oyu, for
instance, his climbing partner, Pierre-Alain Steiner, fell hundreds
of meters. Loretan called out to what he assumed would be a corpse.
Unexpectedly, Steiner called back. Loretan writes, knowing that
what he is about to share is terrible, that he felt no joy on
hearing his friend's voice because rescue was impossible in so
remote a place. This title is part of our LEGENDS AND LORE series.
