________________ K2, August 1st, 2008. Thirty climbers are
attempting the summit of the most savage mountain on Earth. They

collapses, sweeping away their ropes. It is dark. Their lines are
gone. They are low on oxygen. And it is getting very, very cold.
How many will make it down alive? ________________ 'A gripping
hour-by-hour dissection of events in the Western Himalayas over
three deadly days. A fitting shelfmate to the modern classic Into
Thin Air. A cracking read' Sunday Times 'The best mountain-disaster
memoir since Into Thin Air' Mail on Sunday 'Stories of heroism,
sadness and extraordinary endurance against all the odds [are]
woven into a thrilling drama' Daily Mail

There runs a chill through my spine, just thinking of what they had to endure. I was cold the whole time reading this book, experiencing their hardships, and living in the moment of cold, exhaustion, and terror. Not knowing if you are going to make it down.
