r the first time in English, <b>The Mountains of My Life</b> collects the classic writings of world-famous mountaineer Walter Bonatti, and tells the real story of the 1954 controversy over the events on K2 that changed his life.<br><br>Bonatti is one of the greatest mountaineers of all time, a man who continually reset the benchmark of human possibility by ascending routes that others dared not even contemplate.

He is not only a mountaineer of astonishing talent and vision, but one of the world's most engaging writers about mountaineering.<br><br>Bonatti has also been dogged by controversy and often been at odds with the climbing community. <b>The Mountains of My Life</b> not only collects the best of Bonatti's writing telling of adventures in the Alps, the Himalayas, and little-known South American peaks
