K2: The Savage Mountain. At 28,251 feet, it looms as the ultimate mountaineering challenge, a peak four times more deadly than Everest. In August 2008, eleven climbers perished in a single, horrific thirty-six-hour period, marking one of the worst tragedies in mountaineering history.

Ed Viesturs, one of the world's leading high-altitude climbers, delves into the compelling and tragic history of K2, exploring the driving forces behind those who dare to challenge its unforgiving slopes. More than just a chronicle of ascents and accidents, this is an examination of the profound questions K2 provokes: risk versus reward, ambition versus self-preservation, and loyalty versus the intoxicating lure of glory.

Viesturs brings firsthand experience to the page, recounting his own near-fatal 1992 climb with Scott Fischer, where only a desperate act of self-arrest saved them from certain death. Through vivid accounts of seven defining expeditions, including his own and the catastrophic 2008 event, Viesturs, along with David Roberts, crafts a gripping narrative that resonates with climbers and armchair adventurers alike. Featuring rare photographs and historical insights, this is a definitive, edge-of-your-seat exploration of the world's most dangerous mountain, and the profound human drama played out on its icy heights.
