The Ninth Peak

Rasmus Gundersen hasn't spoken to his son in two years—and now Anders is missing above eight thousand meters on one of the deadliest mountains on Earth. A retired Danish mountaineer whose lungs nearly killed him the last time he climbed, Rasmus must choose between the fear that has defined his life and the son he drove away. With helicopter rescue grounded and avalanche danger rising on Nanga Parbat, he begins the one ascent he swore he'd never make. What he discovers in the ice will change everything he believed about his son, his past, and the debt he never repaid.
