The stories of those who conquer the planet’s unreachable poles and wild places may seem simple at first glance. They came. They reached the summit. They returned with glory and honors. But an expedition is a living organism – intertwined with lifelong friendship, distrust, resentment, anger, and deep affection. All of this is amplified by life-threatening conditions. It was no different during the winter ascent of the famous Alaskan peak Denali in 1967. A group of eight men took on a project that seemed doomed from the start. How would they resist the cold, the winds, and the lack of oxygen at altitudes above 5,000 meters? How would they handle moments when the perceived temperature drops to minus one hundred and they are trapped in an icy massif?
No one before them had experienced the highest ridges of North America in the winter twilight. No one knew how low the temperatures would drop or how piercing the cold would feel once the wind started blowing. And now, they were about to find out for themselves.
Minus 100 Degrees by Art Davidson is not just the book of an expedition member who knew each participant intimately. It's also a journalist’s work – someone who looks back at events with perspective and returns to the expedition through diaries and interviews with fellow climbers. And it’s also a raw and honest account of one insane expedition that faced it all – from euphoria to hatred, and ultimately, death.
