“Epic: Stories of Survival from the World’s Highest Peaks,” edited by Clint Willis, is all about the climb that went wrong: fighting blinding snowstorms and horrific avalanches; days spent tentbound running low on food, water and oxygen; surviving broken bones and shattered spirits.
With writing from Greg Child, David Roberts, Stephen Venables, Alfred Lansing and others, Epic is a collection of the most memorable accounts of legend-making expeditions to the world’s most famous peaks, often in the worst possible conditions.
“If you liked Jon Krakauer’s Into Thin Air, read this book.” –The Boston Phoenix
Clint Willis has been a climber and an armchair mountaineer since he was ten years old. His writing has appeared in more than 100 publications, including Men’s Journal, Outside, Rock & Ice, The New York Times and Worth.
