\nThis book looks at the development of climbing on the world’s highest
\nmountains – the 14 whose summits stand above the 8000 metre contour. Though
\nconcentrating on the new millennium, from 2000 to 2011, with an epilogue on
\n2011, the book also covers the first ascent of the mountains, and the new
\nroutes climbed between the first ascent and 1999. <\/p>\n
A sequel to On Top of the World, published in 2000 which dealt with the
\ndiscovery and early climbing history of the mountains, the book also uses new
\nmaterial which has come to light over the last decade to re-appraise the first
\nascents on Annapurna, Broad Peak and K2. <\/p>\n
Illustrated with stunning images for the new routes established during the new
\nmillennium, the book also includes archival shots from the early history of
\nthe mountains. These archival shots include first ascent shots from two of the
\nmountains which had not been made available for the earlier book. <\/p>\n
The book is completed with data on the mountains provided by co-author
\nEberhard Jurgalski, who maintains the world’s most up-to-date database on
\nthese (and other) mountains. The data include all climbers who have summitted
\nall 14 mountains (a figure which now stands at an astonishing 28) as well as
\nthose who are nearing the complete set. Sadly some of the latter have died in
\nthe attempt and will never achieve their goal. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
