Mine is "K2: The Savage Mountain", the classic Houston & Bates account of their team's tragic ascent attempt of 1953. A great book about the general history of K2 attempts (in modern times) is Jim Curran's "K2: Triumph and Tragedy", which features plenty of interesting accounts dating from its modern "discovery" by Westerners.

IT would have to be "K2: Fuck am I climbing that" by me.

The Amazon review sums it up perfectly: "A wonderful read from cover to cover - the way Mr. Scouser managed to describe his non-climb in breathtaking detail left me with a hard0n lasting three days. 10/10!! doris littlejohn, lower loxleigh

haha, did they mention the money I blagged of the social and various charities to support my climb.
I said it was for the starving children of the world.

Ahh, as long as you didn't promise to feed the starving children of the world, then they can't touch you!

Yes, it's my ambition to at least get to the Karakoram range some day, and stand before its grandeur. Vertical Limit really captured it... honest.

that's great marlowe! i was trying to see if a comic i know was translated in english but cant seem to find anything. it's by a guy called "taniguchi" and it's all about the mountains and stuff and solitude. i feel this comic was really made for those who love the mountains who are in awe of it's power beauty etc...
so i thought you might like it but cant find anything.
