Books by Ed Viesturs
From the bestselling author of No Shortcuts to the Top and K2, and the first American to ascend all fourteen of the world's 8,000-meter peaks, a chronicle of his three attempts to climb Annapurna in the Himalayas, the world's tenth-highest and statistically most deadly peak.
Now in paperback, Ed Viesturs, the first American to ascend all fourteen of the world's 8,000-meter peaks, and perhaps the world's most renowned climber today, explores the history of climbing K2--including his own climbs and 2008's deadly disaster that took eleven lives in a single day.
