4.17 avg rating — 378 ratings
"Acclaimed as one of the most powerful accounts of mountain adventure and tragedy ever written, The Endless Knot is a harrowing account of the 1986 K2 disaster.

A rare first-hand account from a survivor at the very epicentre of the drama, as the drama unfolds in the second half of the book you are left turning page after page. I will never be the same again after reading this book."
