K2 is the big prize, the second highest peak in the World, if  not the highest. While Mount Everest has turned into the playground of affluent thrill seeker, climbers and non-climbers with plenty of money to pay for the expertise of guides and and teams of sherpas and organizers to see them to the top in relative safe, K2 demands climbing skills fortitude and perseverance from the ones attempting to conquer her.

This is no "E" ride at Disneyland amusement park. No Way Down is not an account of a single successful expedition, but of historical facts, and an account of unsuccessful climbs (It is not enough to reach the top, a successful expediton ends at the point of return.).

A must read for thrill seekers, climbers and armchair adventurers who are yet to comprehend what it is to climb a mountain.
