I defy anyone to read it and remain unmoved.</em>' Stephen Venables, <em>Alpine Journal</em></strong></p><p>Acclaimed as one of the most powerful accounts of mountain adventure and tragedy ever written, <em>The Endless Knot</em> is a harrowing account of the 1986 <strong>K2 disaster</strong>.</p><p>A rare first-hand account from a survivor at the very epicentre of the drama, <em>The Endless Knot </em>describes the disaster in frank detail. <strong>Kurt Diemberger</strong>'s account of the final days of success, accident, storm and escape during which five climbers died, including his partner <strong>Julie Tullis</strong> and the great British mountaineer <strong>Al Rouse</strong>, is lacerating in its sense of tragedy, loss and dogged survival. Only Diemberger and <strong>Willi Bauer</strong> escaped the mountain. K2 had claimed the lives of thirteen climbers that summer.</p><p>Kurt Diemberger is one of only two climbers to have made first ascents of two 8000-metre peaks, <strong>Broad Peak</strong> and <strong>Dhaulagiri</strong>. A superb mountaineer, the K2 trauma left him physically and emotionally ravaged, but it also marked him out as an instinctive and tenacious survivor. After a long period of recovery Diemberger published <em>The Endless Knot </em>and resumed life as a mountaineer, filmmaker and international lecturer.</p>
