Son récit tient en trois temps... Une seconde pour voir disparaître son compagnon de cordée quand un rappel s'arrache et précipite Pierre Béghin dans la face sud de l'Annapurna. Cinq jours pour désescalader sans matériel cette paroi, ce qui constitue l'une des plus étonnantes histoires de survie de l'alpinisme. Mais le pire est à venir, dans le regard des autres au retour, dans la culpabilité puis dans la dépression. Dix ans pour pouvoir en parler : le temps qu'il lui faudra pour remonter sur ce sommet et sortir, par le courage, d'un drame personnel. Prisonnier de l'Annapurna est le roman vrai d'un homme qui a su prendre sa revanche sur le destin.

The bestselling author of The Mountain and No Shortcuts to the Top chronicles his three attempts to climb the world’s tenth-highest and statistically deadliest peak while exploring the dramatic and tragic history of others who have made—or attempted—the ascent. “Viesturs and Roberts have written an exhaustively researched and wonderfully compelling history of the most fascinating and dangerous of the Himalayan giants.”—David Breashers, veteran mountaineer and documentary filmmaker, director of IMAX film Everest As a high school student, Ed Viesturs read and was captivated by the French climber Maurice Herzog’s famous and grisly account of the first ascent of Annapurna in 1950. When he began his own campaign to climb the world’s fourteen highest peaks in the late 1980s, Viesturs looked forward with trepidation to undertaking Annapurna himself. Two failures to summit in 2000 and 2002 made Annapurna his nemesis. His successful 2005 ascent was the triumphant capstone of his climbing quest. In The Will to Climb Viesturs and co-author David Roberts bring the extraordinary challenges of Annapurna to vivid life through edge-of-your-seat accounts of the greatest climbs in the mountain’s history, and of his own failed attempts and eventual success. In the process Viesturs ponders what Annapurna reveals about some of our most fundamental moral and spiritual questions—questions, he believes, that we need to answer to lead our lives well.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • This gripping and triumphant memoir from the author of The Mountain follows a living legend of extreme mountaineering as he makes his assault on history, one 8,000-meter summit at a time. “From the drama of the peaks, to the struggle of making a living as a professional climber, to the basic how-tos of life at 26,000 feet, No Shortcuts to the Top is fascinating reading.”—Aron Ralston, author of Between a Rock and a Hard Place and subject of the film 127 Hours For eighteen years Ed Viesturs pursued climbing’s holy grail: to stand atop the world’s fourteen 8,000-meter peaks, without the aid of bottled oxygen. But No Shortcuts to the Top is as much about the man who would become the first American to achieve that goal as it is about his stunning quest. As Viesturs recounts the stories of his most harrowing climbs, he reveals a man torn between the flat, safe world he and his loved ones share and the majestic and deadly places where only he can go. A preternaturally cautious climber who once turned back 300 feet from the top of Everest but who would not shrink from a peak (Annapurna) known to claim the life of one climber for every two who reached its summit, Viesturs lives by an unyielding motto, “Reaching the summit is optional. Getting down is mandatory.” It is with this philosophy that he vividly describes fatal errors in judgment made by his fellow climbers as well as a few of his own close calls and gallant rescues. And, for the first time, he details his own pivotal and heroic role in the 1996 Everest disaster made famous in Jon Krakauer’s Into Thin Air. In addition to the raw excitement of Viesturs’s odyssey, No Shortcuts to the Top is leavened with many funny moments revealing the camaraderie between climbers. It is more than the first full account of one of the staggering accomplishments of our time; it is a portrait of a brave and devoted family man and his beliefs that shaped this most perilous and magnificent pursuit.

Steck was considered by many to be one of the strongest climbers who ever lived The holder of six amazing speed-climbing records The first and only English-language book by this much loved alpinist A climber of incredible strength, Ueli Steck set climbing records for speed and endurance that no one had previously thought possible. This deeply personal and revealing memoir, Ueli Steck: My Life in Climbing, is the only one of his books to be published in English. In 2016, Ueli established a new speed record on Eiger’s North Face—beating his own record! That same year he climbed all 82 four-thousand-meter peaks in the Alps within 62 days (traveling between the peaks by bicycle), and summited Annapurna’s south face in 28 hours. But the dramatic events of the previous two years—the internationally reported conflict with Sherpas at Mount Everest, and the discovery of Alex Lowe’s body on Shishapangma—changed him and made him rethink his approach to the mountains. After withdrawing from the sport for a period, Ueli rediscovered his love of climbing, and in this memoir he explains how his perspective changed. While his drive to achieve in the mountains hadn’t diminished, an evaluation of his experiences helped him find a new way to process the emotional and mental challenges that shaped his athletic outlook. Structured around key climbs, Ueli Steck: My Life in Climbing provides the history of each mountain and route, Ueli’s reasons for attempting it, what happened on each climb itself, and what he learned from the experience. It also includes some fascinating insights into his training regimen. Ueli infuses his story with the joy and freedom of climbing and running. He is honest, direct and, at times, exhibits the self-absorption common to many elite athletes. Ultimately, however, his experiences brought him to a place of self-awareness and he was no longer the same climber who first set the speed record on the Eiger’s North Face. Ueli was determined that he would take only acceptable risks. Unfortunately, Ueli’s bar for risk was still very high—he died while on a training climb on the Himalayan peak Nuptse on April 30, 2017.

Le 27 janvier 2006, Jean-Christophe Lafaille, le plus grand alpiniste de sa génération, trouvait la mort en Himalaya, au Makalu, l'un des quatorze sommets de plus de 8 000 mètres de la planète. Sans lui, à 36 ans, mère de deux enfants (Jérémie, 12 ans, né d'une union précédente et Tom, âgé de 5 ans, fils de Jean-Christophe), Katia à la fois forte et fragile affronte le vide de la reconstruction. Comment s'en sortir ? Quel avenir pour une femme dans un univers où ni les machos à crampons ni les mufles à piolets ne vous épargnent leurs sarcasmes ? A-t-on le droit de vivre autrement l'amour avec un homme qui tutoyait la mort en altitude ? Peut-on survivre au deuil d'un alpiniste sans sépulture ? Cette sportive qui n'a pas froid aux yeux, alternant les compétitions de descente en VTT, le parapente, l'alpinisme en solitaire, cette risque-tout qui longtemps ne s'encordait pas en montagne, funambule au-dessus des glaciers, avait tôt cessé d être une bourgeoise rêveuse des bords du Léman. Mariée à 18 ans, divorcée à 19, éprise de nature et d'espace blanc, solitaire souvent et par choix, Katia rencontra enfin Jean-Christophe et son destin changea. Ils inventèrent ensemble une autre façon de marcher, d'escalader, d'imaginer la montagne. Ils envisageaient de vivre ensemble dans l'ouest américain. Katia ira bientôt, sans lui, avec son fils Tom.

Joseph Dixon, a seasoned traveler, is drawn to the ethereal ruggedness of the Himalayas. But it s the turn of the millennium and the Maoist People s War has been quietly tearing Nepal apart. As a volunteer, Joseph settles into the Myagdi district of Nepal, a good two days walk to anywhere he would consider civilization. In the tiny village of Rinrut he meets young Kunjana, a wartime orphan whose parents have been killed by Maoists. Once the violence overflows into Myagdi and Kunjana is attacked, Joseph, trying to give this young child a chance at a life in Kathmandu plots her escape. Joseph s noble intentions have consequences far greater than he could have imagined. After trekking the famed but increasingly hostile Annapurna Circuit trek, and upon his return home, Joseph is forced to come to terms with himself and his connection to the Kingdom in the Clouds. Author Bio: Leon David Dunn was born and raised in Windsor, Ontario. After studying philosophy at university, he left North America for an 11 -year, around-the-world adventure which allowed him to call home places as varied as England, Scotland, Italy, Australia, and Japan. In 2002 he spent six months in India and Nepal. Starting his journey in a volunteer home, he then travelled north to trek the Annapurna Circuit during the height of the Maoist People s War. He currently lives in Vancouver, B.C Canada. keywords: Fiction, Nepal, Adventure, Maoists, War, Trekking, Volunteering, Village, Struggle, Annapurna"

Ils ont pris les dimensions de la terre. Escaladé les plus hautes montagnes, convergé vers les pôles, visité les abysses, traversé les océans, volé au-delà des nuages. Ils ont aussi écrit quelques unes des plus belles pages de l'aventure moderne. Heinrich Harrer, Thor Heyerdahl, Chuck Yeager, Alain Bombard, Edmund Hillary, Jacques Piccard, Walter Bonatti, Buzz Aldrin, Reinhold Messner, Peter Blake, Borge Ousland, Bertrand Piccard, Steve Fossett ne se sont pas contenté d'accumuler les exploits et les performances, ils ont surtout été dignes dans leurs démarches et généreux dans leurs accomplissements. Pendant une demi-douzaine d'années, Benoît Heimermann, grand reporter à L'Equipe Mazgazine, est allé au devant de ces pionniers, aux Etats-Unis, en Autriche, en Italie, en Norvège ou en Nouvelle Zélande. De rencontres en découvertes, il a appris à mieux connaître ces chevaliers de « l'inutile », discerné leurs motivations, apprécié leurs convictions, partagé leurs préoccupations. Et constaté, au bout du compte, que tous ces apôtres du risque calculé, tous ces missionnaires de l'enthousiasme partagé parlaient d'une même voix. Celle de l'humilité et de l'authenticité que les amateurs de surenchères qui leur ont emboîté le pas gagneraient sûrement à écouter davantage.
