About this product

Product Information

K2, the second highest peak in the world, is generally regarded as the most difficult and dangerous of all mountains. This is the dramatic story of the 1953 American expedition when a combination of terrible storms and illness stopped them short of the summit. Then on the descent, tragedy struck, and how they made it back to safety is renowned in the annals of climbing. K2-The Savage Mountain captures this sensational tale with an unmatched power that has earned this book its place as one of the classics of mountaineering literature.

    Historical expedition: A survival story at five miles up in the atmosphere. Flight Surgeon elevation sickness treatment was worked out of the doctor's findings as K2 is a mountain that is over 5 miles high. Today it may seem an arduous test of strength, skill and courage...but when the first pioneers did it this was even worse. The doctor had hoped to go up before WWII but was not able to until 1953.
