Climber and outdoor writer Nick Heil reviewed three new books about climbing disasters on K2 for National Public Radio earlier this month. It’s worth a listen (see below).

No Way Down: Life and Death on K2 by Graham Bowley

The Last Man on the Mountain: The Death of an American Adventurer on K2 by Jennifer Jordan

One Mountain Thousand Summits: The Untold Story Tragedy and True Heroism on K2 by Freddie Wilkinson
