Thin Air

Kangchenjunga.

Third-highest peak on earth.

Greatest killer of them all.

Five Englishmen set off from Darjeeling, determined to conquer the sacred summit. But courage can only take them so far – and the mountain is not their only foe.

As the wind dies, the dread grows.

Mountain sickness.

The horrors of extreme altitude.

A past that will not stay buried.

And sometimes… the truth does not set you free.
