Deadly Peaks - Robert Hauptman - Bog

Deadly Peaks is a collection of the most notable mountaineering disasters and near-disasters in history; from the Alps, to the Himalaya, to the Andes, and everywhere in-between. Exhaustively researched by two of the most respected authorities on mountaineering history, the book is structured in a unique way: Longer recitations in chronological order followed by a group of briefer narratives, which all offer an intimate glimpse into the worst case-scenarios high altitude mountaineering can offer.
