“No Way Down is both a gripping read and a clear-eyed investigation of the hubris, politics, and bad luck that brought on one of the worst disasters in modern mountaineering history.” — Michael Kodas, author of High Crimes: The Fate of Everest in an Age of Greed

“Graham Bowley’s No Way Down does a great job of putting you on the mountain. It is a refreshingly unadorned account of the true brutality of climbing K2, where heroes emerge and egos are stripped down, and the only thing achieving immortality is the cold ruthless mountain.” — Norman Ollestad, author of Crazy for the Storm

In the tradition of Into Thin Air and Touching the Void, No Way Down by New York Times reporter Graham Bowley is the harrowing account of the worst mountain climbing disaster on K2, second to Everest in height... but second to no peak in terms of danger. From tragic deaths to unbelievable stories of heroism and survival, No Way Down is an amazing feat of storytelling and adventure writing, and, in the words of explorer and author Sir Ranulph Fiennes, “the closest you can come to being on the summit of K2 on that fateful day.”

Ein packendes Werk uber Mut, Fehler, Uberlebenskampf und die Grenzen des Menschseins in extremer Hohe Das starkste Buch uber ein Bergungluck seit Jon Krakauers In eisige Hohen . Mail On SundayDer K2 ist der zweithochste Achttausender, doch weitaus gefahrlicher und anspruchsvoller als der Mount Everest. Am 1. August 2008 machten sich 24 Alpinisten 22 Manner und zwei Frauen unterschiedlicher Nationalitaten an die Besteigung. Ein Gro teil von ihnen erreichte den Gipfel. Beim Abstieg kam es zur Katastrophe: Mehrere Bergsteiger sowie die Fixseile wurden von einem Eisblock in die Tiefe gerissen, was den ubrigen Expeditionsteilnehmenden den Weg nach unten versperrte. Am Ende des mehrtagigen Kampfes hatte der K2 elf Menschenleben gefordert eine der schwerwiegendsten Tragodien im Himalaja. Kein Weg zuruck rekonstruiert kunstvoll und gewissenhaft den Ablauf in brutaler Echtzeit. New York TimesVon der New York Times beauftragt, begann Graham Bowley zu recherchieren. Seine aufsehenerregende Reportage wurde zum Ausgangspunkt fur dieses packende, zeitlose Bergbuch. Minutios analysiert der Autor den Verlauf der Expedition, Hoffnungen und Traume der einzelnen Alpinisten, und was letztlich zum Ungluck am K2 fuhrte. Graham Bowleys Verdienst ist es, dokumentarisch an das Bergdrama mit elf Toten heranzugehen, feinfuhlig die Gesprache am Berg zu rekonstruieren ohne Katastrophen-Voyeurismus und ohne Schuldzuweisungen. Kein Weg zuruck ist ein ergreifendes Dokument ubers Leben und Sterben am K2, und den Kampf ums Uberleben. Rucksackradio, Bayern 1
