Diemberger has climbed Broad Peak, Dhaulagiri, Everest, K2, Makalu, Gasherbrum II and previous attempts on K2. Most importantly it includes his gripping story of the tragic 1986 K2 climb, when Julie Tullis, Alan Rouse & 12 others died on the mountain including his struggle against a storm with six other climbers high on the mountain. Only two of the seven climbers made it back alive. See Licht und Schatten am K2 by Gertude Reinisch and Willi Bauer which is also available.
