Everyone who found "No Way Down" interesting should also read "One Mountain Thousand Summits " by Freddie Wilkinson for further insight into the events at K2 in August 2008 . While Graham Bowley's "No Way Down" contains a very helpful chronology and is an admirable attempt at presenting a balanced view of the participants ,his obvious ignorance of climbing simply hampered his ability to tell the whole story . Freddie Wilkinson is an experienced climber and because of that is much more able to understand and communicate the signifcance of the events and how Himalayan climbing has evolved to the point that a disaster like K2 in August 2008 could happen in the first place . That is why Jon Krakauer in "Into Thin Air" was able to interest the non-climbing public in a way non-climbing authors couldn't . I'm glad I read Mr. Bowley's book first but found that it left too many unanswered questions about too many things .
Books about climbing on the highest mountains are most often "as told to" accounts. Since mountaineers tend to be athletes of limited education and literary talent, their accounts are written by ghost writers who describe the events from the perspective of the climber, defending his (or her) actions, or lack of them, on the mountain. No Way Down is different in that the author was not an actor in the debacle that took place on K2 in 2008, in which eleven climbers died and several others suffered injuries. A New York Times reporter, his account is based on multiple interviews with participants, their friends and families. Thus, while not an an actual witness to the events, his story presents a fuller, better balanced and more objective view of what happened than could be learned from a single actor in the drama. Even so, he has a difficult time sorting matters out when confronted with the self justifying or self glorifying, but conflicting, versions of events related by participants and their supporters. Although climbing at high altitudes is often portrayed in romantic terms, everyone knows - or should know - by now that the reality is far from glamorous. The adventurers who seek out the highest mountains are a diverse group, but seem to contain a high proportion of drifters, layabouts and self promoters without solid professional careers. Much has been written about what motivates individuals to undertake the dangers and discomforts of climbing. Motivations undoubtedly vary widely, but ego, narcissism and craving for attention and glory certainly play a heavy part. The actual material costs are high, but the human costs are higher still. Those who fail to return leave sadly broken families behind. Those who return with severe frost bight, amputations or other such common climbing injuries bring home other forms of trauma. All of this is done in pursuit of what? To anyone not obsessed with climbing, the objective seems at once selfish and devoid of anything that could be considered even remotely useful or productive.
Usually, being outdoors is more fun than reading about being outdoors. The exception, for me, is when it comes to climbing mountains. With an Ice Axe. Dependent upon canned oxygen. At minus-twenty Fahrenheit. These experiences are best read about with book in hand, fire burning in a wood stove, labradors sleeping at my feet, a single malt in a glass on the table by the Lazyboy.No Way Down is written by a New York Times journalist. Graham Bowley (the author) is not a mountaineer. As such, this book does have a pedantic style to it. It plods along, objectively describing the details. At times, it seems wooden, much like the journalist was just trying to put his notes down on paper without much livening up of the text.Not that it is a bad book; it isn't.What it lacks is the ability to convey the passion of being on a mountain. It doesn't fully explain why anyone would do such an adventure (although it is clear that for one of the mountaineers, it is the money that motivates).The author is tactful in his descriptions though. Books like these can have a "watch the car accident" feel to them. This one doesn't. It is classy. Highly respectful to the eleven people who perished on K2 back in August of 2008.But compare this book to Jack Turner---who not only climbs mountains but also talks about conserving mountains. "Teewinot" and "The Abstract Wild" are both descriptive and profound. Far superior to what a NYT journalist can do to the subject matter.The feeling the book gave me was that here's this NYT journalist who comes across a story. He gets some attention from the story---so, well, of course, we must turn it into a book! And it is a fine book---just that it reads like so many other journalistic snap shots from people who aren't in love with the whole topic. Or the experience. The book feels like something that had to be written because it would look good on a resume'. And as such, it reads much like that.Yet, I am touched by the author's reporting of the lives of the good people who perished, and survived, that tragic unlucky trip up K2. I just wanted more than biography and story. I wanted that feeling you get when you read a story written by a man who loves the subject matter. Not just reporting what happened on that awful August day in 2008.
