In this book, renowned mountaineer Denis Urubko recounts in detail one of the most striking and heroic rescues in the recent history of mountaineering. In January 2018, while engaged in a winter expedition to K2, Urubko abandoned his goal to rescue climber Élisabeth Revol, who was in a critical situation on the slopes of Nanga Parbat. Through a raw and moving account, the author describes the physical and mental challenges of a night ascent in extreme conditions, exploring themes such as solidarity, survival in the "death zone," and the determination needed to face the world's highest challenges.
This work not only narrates the rescue of Revol but also offers a deep insight into the life and career of Urubko, an expert on 8,000-meter peaks who has dedicated his career to pushing human limits on the most dangerous mountains on the planet. With a unique and honest voice, the author shares his experiences, his reflections on high-level mountaineering, and the values that guide those who face the vastness of the Himalayas.
