At first I was suspicious of this one. After Everest, K2 is the second highest mountain peak in the world, standing some 28,251 feet. Life and Death on K2; No Way Down tells the story of one of the worst disasters in the history of mountaineering, when eleven of the world's best climbers died on a single ascent in 2008. One of the most comprehensive sources is the book No Way Down: Life and Death on K2, by Graham Bowley, a reporter for The New York Times. How could a nonclimber who wasn't present chronicle this tragic event? "No Way Down: Life and Death on K2" (Harper, $25.99) is the latest account of the most recent worst disaster in the great ranges of Asia. Harpercollins.com"No Way Down Life and Death on K2'' by Graham Bowley. For the serious mountaineer, there is only one mountain. I've never climbed in my life, never had any intention of climbing and probably never will; quite a bold statement considering the subject matter on review! Bowley, who has no background in mountaineering, has tamed this subject so even us non-climbers will understand the adventure and tragedy of summitting the deadly K2. I have read other books about Everest and K2, including High Crimes: The Fate of Everest in an Age of Greed, Peak, No Way Down: Life and Death on K2, and K2: Life And Death on the World's Most Dangerous Mountain. Ia menuliskan bahwa tidak ada "jalan pulang" bagi mereka yang mendaki K2. No Way Down: Life and Death on K2.
