Climbers who court danger in the world’s highest places risk far more than
\njust their own skins. When tragedy strikes, what happens to the people who
\nlove them? Why would anyone choose to invest in a future with a high-altitude
\nclimber? What is life like in the shadow of the mountain? Such questions have
\nlong been taboo within the international world of mountaineering. Now Maria
\nCoffey breaks this silence. She recounts climbers‘ stories of near-death
\nexperiences, and gives a voice to the families and loved ones of Chris
\nBonington, Ed Viesturs, Anatoli Boukreev and Alex Lowe, amongst many other
\nfamous names.
\nHer riveting narrative weaves tales of adventure with first-person accounts of
\nthe people left behind, highlighting the conflicting beauty, passion and
\ndevastation of this alluring obsession.
