Publisher's Synopsis
<p>The golden age of Himalayan mountaineering, from the mid-1970s to the 1980s, brought forth a generation of radical young climbers. With tiny budgets and high ambitions they pioneered fast and light, alpine-style expeditions on mountains such as <strong>Jannu</strong>, <strong>Nuptse</strong>, <strong>Everest</strong> and <strong>K2</strong>.</p> <p>In <em>High Risk</em>, <strong>Brian Hall</strong> recalls the outrageous adventures of eleven of his climbing friends who risked – and often lost – their lives to stand on some of the world’s highest peaks during a legendary period in mountaineering history.</p>
