New York Times BestsellerA refreshingly unadorned account of the true brutality of climbing K2, where heroes emerge and egos are stripped down, and the only thing achieving immortality is the cold ruthless mountain. Norman Ollestad, author of Crazy for the StormIn this riveting work of narrative nonfiction, New York Times journalist Graham Bowley recreates one of the most dramatic tales of death and survival in mountaineering historythe 2008 K2 ascent that claimed the lives of eleven climbersIn the tradition of Into Thin Air and Touching the Void, No Way Down is the harrowing account of the worst mountain climbing disaster on K2, second to Everest in height. . . but second to no peak in terms of danger. On August 1, 2008, no fewer than eight international teams of mountain climberssome experienced, others less preparedascended K2, the world's secondhighest mountain, with the last group reaching the summit at 8 p.m. Then disaster struck. A huge ice chunk came loose above a deadly threehundredfoot avalancheprone gully, destroying the fixed guide ropes. More than a dozen climbersmany without oxygen and some with no headlampsfaced the nearly impossible task of descending in the blackness with no guideline and no protection. Over the course of the chaotic night, some would miraculously make it back. Others would not.From tragic deaths to unbelievable stories of heroism and survival, No Way Down is an amazing feat of storytelling and adventure writing, and, in the words of explorer and author Sir Ranulph Fiennes, the closest you can come to being on the summit of K2 on that fateful day.
