epic survival stories from the mountaineering world: Coombs on Mt Foraker,
\nFischer on K2, Potterfield in the Cascades. 270 p., b& w photographs. When a
\nclimb goes wrong, shows Potterfield, it can become the threshold to a grim,
\nlife-changing experience. Along with the survival stories of others, veteran
\nclimber Potterfield tells a harrowing tale of his own brush with death and
\ndramatic rescue on Chimney Rock in the Cascades in 1988. Then there is Colby
\nCoombs, who, after an avalanche killed his two companions on Alaska’s Mount
\nForaker in 1992, struggled for five days to make his way down, despite a
\nbroken neck, shoulder and ankle. Potterfield’s other story features Scott
\nFischer and his determination to climb K-2, in Pakistan’s Karakoram, in 1992.
\nOn his first attempt, Fischer fell into a crevasse and dislocated a shoulder.
\nCrippled and in pain, he and his partner persisted; they saved the lives of
\nthree other climbers before reaching the summit.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
