Description

Book Synopsis: Survival on Formidable Peaks covers some of the most harrowing experiences climbers have survived as well as the unique circumstances that they have found themselves in when taking on some of the great peaks of the world. Few people travel to these parts of the world. Even fewer decide to risk their lives to summit the rooftops of the world. This book will begin with historical ascents, such as the British team that attempted to summit the Matterhorn only for things to take a turn for the worse. Then we’ll travel forward in time to the desperate escape of eight American mountaineers who fled K2 in a heroic attempt to save their friend’s life. Later on in the book, we’ll examine the infamous 1996 Everest Disaster—“Storm over Everest”—which warned about the dangers of the commercialization of the world’s highest mountain.

These stories will amaze you and inspire you. In Survival on Formidable Peaks you’ll read about:
Climbing a mountain nicknamed “Murder Wall” is dicey with a partner. Climbing it alone is a test of faith.
How do you climb the Matterhorn without modern equipment—and live?
What do you do when you are abducted and have to negotiate with warlords on the way to the top?
Trust is hard-earned. How do you cope when you are dangling over a precipice and the person who holds your life in his hands isn’t your friend?
This is a collection of six tales of survival on different mountains around the world, showcasing that the human spirit is often tested to the limits—and survives.
