ED VIESTURS
K2: LIFE & DEATH ON THE WORLD’S MOST DANGEROUS MOUNTAIN 

Armchair climbers and those who get a rush from any kind of contact with the adventure that is mountaineering will welcome back Bainbridge climber and author  Ed Viesturs (No Shortcuts to the Top.) Viesturs’ new book, co-authored with David Roberts, explores K2—the holy grail of climbing—its history, those who have attempted to climb it, and the lessons learned through confronting issues of risk, ambition, and loyalty to one’s teammates. Viesturs presents a slide show focussing on seven of the mountain’s most dramatic campaigns, from his own  troubled ascent to a 2008 tragedy in which eleven climbers died.
