Books, Manuscripts
At 28,251 ft, K2 might be almost 800 ft shorter than Everest, but it's a far harder climb. It will kill you on the way up and the way down. Mick Conefrey guides us through the early story of the legendary mountain and the extraordinary attempts that led up to its first ascent in 1954 - these are tales of riveting drama and unimaginable tragedy.
