«No Way Down: Life and Death on K2» is a non-fiction chronicle by Graham Bowley about the K2 tragedy, published by Penguin in paperback (304 pages).
On August 1, 2008, some thirty climbers attempted to summit K2 and, after succeeding, the collapse of an ice cornice took away the fixed ropes. The chronicle follows their night-time descent with scarce oxygen and extreme cold, and portrays the courage, recklessness and losses of one of mountaineering's most tragic days.
Written in English, the book was nominated for the Boardman Tasker Prize for mountain literature in 2010 and falls within history, sports and recreation.
Work for mountaineering enthusiasts, fans of real survival stories and disaster chronicles; in the vein of the classic 'Into Thin Air'.
