No one sees clearer than an individual whose life is hanging by the
finger tips on the edge of an abyss. Probing the furthest reaches
of human daring and endurance, here are 28 of the great first-hand
accounts of extreme mountaineering, from legendary names.
Featuring: *Heinrich Harrer - first conqueror of the notorious
Eigerwand. *Robert Bates - the classic account of the ill-fated
American 1953 expedition to K2. *Maurice Herzog - his unstoppable
ascent of Annapurna at the cost of frostbite. *Walter Bonatti -
tragedy on the Central Pillar of Freney on Mont Blanc. *George
Leigh Mallory - surviving an avalanche on the 1922 Everest
expedition. *Rene Desmaison - his epic story of 14 days stuck on
The Grandes Jorasses in winter. *Jon Krakauer - recalling his solo
ascent of The Devil's Thumb in Alaska. The price of the summit is
often measured in human suffering, yet for those who succeed the
rewards can be incalculable. Nerve-wracking and unputdownable.
