The race for the summit of the world’s most deadly mountain<\/p>\n
At 28,251 ft, K2 might be almost 800 ft shorter than Everest, but it’s a far
\nharder climb. In this definitive account, Mick Conefrey grippingly describes
\nthe early attempts to reach the summit and provides a fascinating exploration
\nof the first ascent’s complex legacy.<\/p>\n
From the drug-addicted occultist Aleister Crowley to Achille Compagnoni and
\nLindo Lacedelli, the Italian duo who finally made it to the summit, The Ghosts
\nof K2 charts how a slew of great men became fixated on this legendary
\nmountain.<\/p>\n
Through exclusive interviews with surviving team members and their families,
\nand unrivalled access to diaries and letters that have been archived around
\nthe world, Conefrey evokes the true atmosphere of the Savage Mountain and
\nexplores why it remains the ‚mountaineer’s mountain‘, despite a history
\nsteeped in controversy and death.<\/p>\n
Wrought with tension, and populated by tragic heroes and eccentric dreamers,
\nThe Ghosts of K2 is a masterpiece of mountaineering literature.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
