Five years later, Stephen Venables intensified the challenge by leading three unknown American climbers up the East Face - this time without oxygen. The question to most climbing experts wasn't whether they would summit, but whether they would live. They nearly didn't Everest: Alone at the Summit is Venables' rousing account of one of the greatest feats of twentieth century mountaineering, a triumph over doubt, the elements and the limits of human endurance that has never been repeated. \"Climbers or not, all will be interested in this mountaineering thriller of a tiny band pulling off an incredible victory-an account so stirring it will be put down only to obtain a moment's breather.\" -  American Alpine Journal","brand":"Hachette Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51020074287447,"sku":"9781560252894","price":17.09,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781560252894.jpg?v=1750782306","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/everest-alone-at-the-summit-9781560252894","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
