Summary

A deeply moving story of the beauty and brutality of life, and death, on the world's most unpredictable and perilous mountain.

Sitting just lower than Everest at 8,611 meters above sea level on the China-Pakistan border, the Savage Mountain claims the lives of even the most experienced climbers. Alongside severe altitude, the weather is notoriously volatile and the climb relentlessly steep. A staggering one in four attempts result in death on the mountain.

In One Man's Climb, Adrian Hayes details an intensely personal account of his attempts to climb K2 - first in 2013 and again in 2014. Absorbing and self-reflective, his journey is as much a story of climbing a mountain as it is a testament to the human spirit's ability to endure.

Not a bad story but hated author/narrator

Have to start with the narration, usually narration by the author is guaranteed to be good but this guy for some reason put on accents for all the other people that appeared in the book...French, American, Irish, South African....it got really really irritating, there was absolutely no need for it, just needed to read the story as any normal person would.
The story itself was fine, it's not the most exciting mountain story, or even K2 story but it was ok. I wouldn't be in a hurry to recommend it. Go get Ascent in to Hell by Fergus White instead would be my recommendation.
