One of the world's most influential climbers, Kurt Diemberger is the only living person to have the distinction of two first ascents on the world's 8000-meter peaks, both climbed without supplemental oxygen. In each of these classic works, his infectious mixture of joy, awe, and a voracious appetite for life shine through his words. The inclusion of two fascinating autobiographical works-Summits & Secrets and Spirits of the Air-plus a powerful portrayal of K2 (The Endless Knot) make this omnibus a must for every climber's bookshelf., ISBN13: 9780898866063 ISBN10: 0898866065 Material Type: hardcover
