CLICK HERE to download a sample from The Last Step* A mountaineering classic* Conflict, hardship, endurance, triumph -- it's all here in Ridgeway's extraordinary story In September 1978, Rick Ridgeway, Jim Wickwire, Lou Reichardt and John Roskelley stood atop K2, the first Americans ever to achieve this victory. Under the leadership of Jim Whittaker, they and their teammates had spent 67 days on the mountain, nearly all of them above 18,000 feet, where the stresses of high-altitude living, of monotonous food, of confinement in tiny tents for day after day of frustrating storms had worn them down to the core.The Last Step is Rick Ridgeway's inside story of this extraordinary expedition. It's about the people who, battered by the mountain and their isolation, overcame their individual fears, desire, and disappointments to work together to get somebodyñanybodyñto the top of K2. It's about the glorious success the team achieved, and about the perilous bivouac Jim Wickwire spent just below the summit without food, oxygen or shelter in temperatures of -40F.

Book The Last Step (Legends & Lore edition): The American Ascent of K2 (Legends and Lore) Review :



This is one of the best mountaineering expedition books I have read. Ridgeway takes the reader through the intense daily struggles (both mental & physical) required to climb K2, perhaps the hardest of the 8000 meter peaks to climb. In 1978 a large team of Americans, including some of the best US high altitude climbers at that time, have the all consuming goal to be the first from the USA to reach the summit of K2 (which had been climbed only twice before). Their incredible ordeal begins with an arduous approach hike, and continues with increasingly difficult challenges against the weather, altitude, and other deadly hazards. Unfortunately, the team members frequently argued, and struggled to work together effectively. Ridgeway is very candid about this, and does not spare himself criticism. Against all odds, 4 climbers made superhuman efforts to achieve the summit (mostly without supplemental oxygen) by a new route, and somehow survived the descent. Ridgeway's masterful writing made me feel like I was there, and I gained tremendous appreciation for the commitment and skills of the climbers. My only complaint was the lack of diagrams showing the route and camps, but the photos are striking.
Great Book, all of the personal intrigue makes it an engaging read. Had just read Living on the Edge: The Winter Ascent of Kanchenjunga byCherie Bremer-Kamp who was on the trip, and she recommended it. And also having read Roskelly's book about Nanda Devi I felt like I knew many of the characters. And they don't get along. A beautiful route to K2's peak that I had never learned about before. The cover says it all, some of the climbers had to traverse that knife edge ridge 11 times! A big adventure, and I don't think anyone dies, spoiler alert
