$15$30

네팔 출신의 산악인 님스 푸르자가 세계 8000미터 ‘데스 존’ 봉우리 14개를 7개월도 채 안 되는 기간에 모두 등정한 최초의 인물입니다. 그의 기록적인 단축은 종전 7년이라는 기록을 뛰어넘은 것입니다.

I went in expecting a climbing memoir and got something closer to a thriller — the chapter on fixing ropes on K2 had me gripping the book. The way he breaks down the logistics of knocking off all fourteen 8000-meter peaks in under seven months made the impossible feel almost methodical.
