The treacherous dark side of Mount Everest is the setting for this high-stakes adventure, the story of ten men and two women who pit themselves against the ultimate summit. The ascent is the supreme test of physical and emotional discipline. Yet the mountain, in its otherworldly, ice-sheathed beauty, offers two of the climbers a special promise of release from a haunting past.
