Only if i could have done.....
THis book is a great read and extremely knowledgeable from the mountaineers perspective. Ed viesturs is by far one of the best mountaineers of the age and he looks back on expeditions to help explain there heroism and thought process. It is a great read and great for learning more about mountaineering.

Great read from beginning to end.
I appreciate Mr.Viesturs indepth writing and his viewpoints based on his own climbing experiences. As a nonclimber, I found that the many facets that go into a sucessful expedition go far beyond what we would ever imagine. I respect his honesty and true compassion for his fellow climbers and that comes out on the pages of this book. I know more about K2 than I ever knew before and frankily, I kept turning the pages to dive into the next adventure. Entertaining, eye-opening and a keeper.

The Gift of a Second Look
A great read, especially if you're into vicarious mountaineering, and especially if you want to really appreciate one great mountain. Viesturs and Roberts thoroughly explore the major expeditions of K2. Viestur's membership in the elite fraternity of world-class big-mountain climbers brings a rare perspective from which he retells (and sometimes reshapes) the story of what was happening "up there". Would have liked more photos. A great bibliography.
