K2 is the second highest mountain in the world, at 8611 metres only a couple of hundred metres lower than Everest. It is one of the most unrelenting and testing of the worlds 8000-metre peaks.

Jim Curran came to K2 as a climbing cameraman with an unsuccessful British expedition, but stayed on through the climbing season. This is his account of the dramatic events of that summer, a story of ambitions both achieved and thwarted on a mountain which all high-altitude climbers take the most pride in overcoming. In 1986 K2 took its toll of those ambitions.

Curran vividly describes the moments that contribute to the exhilaratio

K2: Triumph And Tragedy by Jim Curran Book Review

Name: Raven
Rating: 4.0 out of 5 stars
Title: Is K2 worse than Everest?
Date: Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2017
Review: The World’s Second-Highest Mountain…

All 14 of the world's 8,000-meter peaks are located in the Himalaya or the Karakoram ranges in Asia. Of the group, Everest reigns as the supreme highest mountain in the world. And yet it is a neighbor with the strange name of “K2” that many consider the harder to climb. Everest is deadly, but the ridges running up to the summit are said to be less challenging than K2. K2 is the true monster among mountains.

During 1986, twenty-seven persons made the summit of K2, a triumph for the climbers. But thirteen persons lost their lives that year in the attempt to master what many have named “The Savage Mountain.”

Author Jim Curran was on the mountain during the summer of 1986. His work as a climbing cameraman for the British Fullers Expedition gave him plenty of insight into the climbers and the mountain.

Some of those who reached the summit of K2 that summer died on their way down. In fact, seven of the thirteen had reached the summit before disaster overtook them. Two Americans were killed in an avalanche, one man fell to his death in a crevasse just out of base camp, and seven were trapped at 26,000 feet for days. Only two would survive and they were almost dead when they finally were helped into base camp.

But all was not tragedy. A young man named Benoit Chamoux made an historic 23 hour climb. Wanda Rutkiewicz became the first woman to summit K2. There were moments of heroism, including the author’s rescue of one of the two survivors of the summit disaster.

Curran tells his story much like he lived it, one day at a time. We witness his rejoicing at the accomplishments of the climbers. We feel his anxiety when his friends are trapped for days. He shares his sorrow for the ones who were left behind, dead on the savage mountain that claimed their lives.

This is a fascinating account of triumph and tragedy. I give the book four stars.

Title: Worst climbing tragedy on K2.
Date: Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2016
Review: Well written account of the 1986 achievements and deaths on K2. Twenty-seven climbed the mountain that year. Thirteen died. Eight died above 8,000m. The other five died from a falling rock, avalanches, and falls.

I found a very crucial piece of information that apparently had not been read or heeded by most climbers on K2 in 2008 when eleven climbers died in similar circumstances. That is that a Korean summiteer in 1986, tried to fix the cut line across the traverse under the serac and put up a new line for others to traverse. Unfortunately, he left about a three foot hank of rope hanging down between the old and new rope line that others in the dark, and in fatigued conditions clipped onto and fell from in the dark. In 2008, many people who did summit couldn't find their way back to the fixed rope. Those with skills, used their crampons and ice axes to go down a near vertical wall of ice. Others, sat down to wait for morning. I think the lesson is, you have to plan to save yourself if possible . Cecilie went on later to be the first woman to win the Explorers Grand Slam, climbing the highest mountain on each of the seven continents and going to both the north and south poles.

In 2008, only Cecile Skog's team knowingly carried a 300' length of climbing rope for emergencies such as this, and fixed a crucial line just cut from an avalanche under this terrible serac, which also took her new husband down to his death.

Jim was a minimal climber. He was along for videography, photos, and ultimately a documentary. He was the last member of his team left there by the time he trekked out to go home. I highly recommend this book to people like me who are interested in climbing, and especially for climbers.

Title: The Original
Date: Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2017
Review: I think that Curran first popularized the "T&T" phrase. So, even though I would normally run away screaming when I see it, it's alright in this case.
This book has been quoted from and mined for info on the terrible summer of 1986 on K2 by everyone else so often that at times I felt as though I had read it already. However, it's a great read. Curran's writing is clear and his humanity is touching. The events of 1986 are just as terrible and yes, tragic as they were shocking then. His rejection of the usual blame game in these disasters is refreshing.

Title: Great book!
Date: Reviewed in the United States on September 16, 2014
Review: I love reading about people who take risks by doing things I would never do. I get the excitement without having to try it and have a heart attack! This book is sad because so many people died. However, it is a good book because it gives you a chance to understand what happens on this kind of climb. Also, if you're not a risk-taker like me, you will still be asking, "why would anyone want to do something like this.
Great book.

Date: Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2011
Review: Got interested in books on K2 recently. This was a pretty good read written by someone who spent most of his time at Base Camp and didn't go high on the mountain, but was engaged in the rescue of the 2008 expeditions. Didn't particularly care for Jim's writing style, which did not fully engage me and was somewhat disjointed. If looking for a better read, I highly recommend Ed Viesturs book "K2 - Life and Death on the World's Most Dangerous Mountain." That book covers many of the K2 expeditions, and was totally engrossing.
