Status Updates From No Way Down: Life and Death...

Pretty good so far but it starts on the morning of the disaster so there’s not a lot of table setting for when shit starts going down

I’m an intellectual I promise

this genre is my weakness they’re all the same but i can’t help it

It was in my Audible library so I'm listening to it while working, so I may as well log it (even though I'm not really paying attention).

The horror of watching an avalanche and seeing the human remains of your friend…… in the aftermath….

We are finally on the descent (I am reading this aloud to my partner) and it’s very good if a little flowery at times… sounds horrible tho who wants to risk your life like this!!!! Terrifying

22 years later back on K2

So far its very thrilling and tragic ... kind of feeling afraid myself

Whenever I get into a depression induced reading slump, all I can manage to read is books about mountaineering disasters. Don't ask me why. I have no answers.

Endlich mal wieder ein wirklich spannendes Bergsteiger-Buch...

I am loving this book - started it on the flight back home, will now go to finish it.

The tension!!

Time for another mountain climbing disaster book! I'm no mountain climber, but I love reading about those who dare.

Enjoyable read so far, though the author's inexperience when it comes to mountaineering etc is noticeable. Nonetheless, so far so good! K2 has always fascinated me.

So spannend, aber nun bin ich müde. Morgen (wenn ich geschlafen habe) geht's atemlos weiter.

Si continua ad altissima quota!!!

Includes some of the history of k2. It focuses on the tragedy in 2008. I am fascinated about what happens to the human mind in the 'death zone', with or without supplemental o2. K2 is a more technical mountain than Everest so taxes o2 starved humans more. From a psychological perspective I find the decisions that are made under hypoxia to be intriguing but also in comparison to nature, we are nothing.

A pretty good read. Not sure why all these people want to climb mountains and die.

I like this book a lot but it jumps around a lot and is hard to follow sometimes but its a good read.

Graham Bowley is no Jon Krakauer, but this book is still pretty riveting, albeit not terribly well-written.

This is a really great book and recommend it to anyone who likes non fiction.

About 30-40 yards to his right, a screaming body flew past, sliding over the ice, headlamp still burning... then into the dark void of the night!

Amazing reading the resolve of the climbers, even after two deaths - they continued climbing...!
