K2 North Ridge 1990

The previously untold full story of the third ascent of the North Ridge of K2 - the Chinese side - and first Australian ascent of this, the second highest mountain in the world.

The cannibal trail

In 1822, eight men escaped from the remote Sarah Island penal colony on the remote West Coast of Tasmania and headed across the impenetrable mountain ranges towards the settled districts in the East. They had no idea how far they had to travel, how dense the bush was, how high the mounatins, how foul the weather. Soon their food supplies ran out. From then on, their only food walked beside them. Only Alexander Pearce survived.

 A man named Revenge

Harold Cleaver is a deserter, witness to a massacre, a town drunk and an unwilling gunfighter. Everyone wants him out of town, or dead. A man named Revenge is a classic Western set around real people and events in and around Georgia and Colorado in the 1860s, including the US Civil War Battle of Chickamauga Creek and the Sand River massacre.

Beta reading

 I spent a few days reading two novels from writers on Goodreads who wanted beta readers to give them feedback.  What a great experience. Two writers with enormous potential.  One a completed sci-fi/alternate future novel that needs a few tweeks. I thought it would be a struggle but it held me to the end with excellent writing and a plot that kept twisting.  The other was the first few chapters of a crime/thriller that has the potential to be a huge seller. Terrific crisp writing, a setup that draws you in wanting more.  I think I'll do some more beta reading. One or two a month. A good way to keep me on my toes, seeing how good other unpublished writers can be.

  Much of the Kashgar market in 1990 was almost medieval - people making tools and utensils on small anvils and lathes, and this man bending thin strips of wood over a purpose-made brazier to create steaming baskets or sieves. After Kashgar we headed for Yecheng and the Kun Lun range we had to drive across to get to the start of the trail to K2's north side.   K2 North Ridge 1990, the book, is here: amzn.to/3rMWzyd Change the long URL to .com.au, . co.uk , .fr, .jp, .de etc. for local pricing.   #k2 #k2northface #karakorum #gregmortimer #steveswenson #gregchild #philershler #shaksgam #mountaineering #kashgar
