The summer of 1986 saw Curran at K2 where he recorded the various international attempts on the peak and the resulting loss of thirteen of the world's top climbers. This terrible season received much less media attention than that of Everest in 1996. This book documents the activities of such climbers as Alan Rouse, Julie Tullis, Aid Burgess, Kurt Diemberger, and many others. Now out-of-print in hardcover.
