No Way Down Life and Death on K2 绝路：乔戈里峰上的生与死 pdf pdb 阿里云 极速 mobi caj kindle 下载

　　In this riveting work of narrative nonfiction, journalist

Graham Bowley re-creates one of the most dramatic tales of death

and survival in mountaineering history, vividly taking readers

through the tragic 2008 K2 ascent that claimed the lives of eleven

climbers, severely injured two others, and made headlines around

the world.

With its near-perfect pyramid shape, the 28,251-foot K2—the

world's second-highest mountain, some 800 feet shorter than the

legendary Everest hundreds of miles to the south—has lured serious

climbers for decades. In 2008, near the end of a brief climbing

season cut even shorter by bad weather, no fewer than ten

international teams—some experienced, others less prepared—crowded

the mountain's dangerous slopes with their Sherpas and porters,

waiting to ascend.

Finally, on August 1, they were able to set off. But hindered by

poor judgment, lack of equipment, and overcrowded conditions, the

last group did not summit until nearly 8 p.m., hours later than

planned. Then disaster struck when a huge ice chunk from above the

Bottleneck, a deadly 300-foot avalanche-prone gulley just below the

summit, came loose and destroyed the fixed guide ropes. More than a

dozen climbers and porters still above the Bottleneck—many without

oxygen and some with no headlamps—faced the near impossibility of

descending in the blackness with no guideline and no protection.

Over the course of the chaotic night, some would miraculously make

it back. Others would not.

Based on in-depth interviews with surviving climbers and many

Sherpas, porters, and family and friends of the deceased, No Way

Down reveals for the first time the full dimensions of this

harrowing drama.

书籍介绍

It's the summit of K2, 1 August 2008. An exhausted band of climbers pump their fists into the clear blue sky - joining the elite who have conquered the world's most lethal mountain. But as they celebrate, far below them an ice shelf collapses and sweeps away their ropes. They don't know it yet, but they will be forced to descend into the blackness with no lines. Of the thirty who set out, eleven will never make it back. No Way Down weaves a tale of human courage, folly, survival and devastating loss. The stories are heart-wrenching: the young married couple whose rope was torn apart by an avalanche, sending the husband to his death; the 61-year-old Frenchman who called his family from near the summit to say he wouldn't make it home. So what drove them to try to conquer this elusive peak? And what went wrong that fateful day?
