About Summit
Summit is a catalog of mountaineering expeditions undone by the high places — Everest storms, K2's seasons of death, the Eiger's north face, avalanches and falls and men lost on the ridge — each autopsied from the approach to the descent, with the Sherpas and porters who died kept in view.
What you'll find here
- Who set out, where they were bound, and how it ended — stated up front, never buried
- A documented timeline, a three-act account, and exactly five contributing factors
- The peril and the decision: what killed the expedition, and the choice that sealed it
- Transferable lessons, and real references from historians, official inquiries, and survivors' accounts
Summit is part of The Far Country — a reference network of doomed expeditions, told as clinical dossiers: by ice, summit, open water, and the interior. The dead, the survivors, and the local guides and peoples are treated with gravity.
