Out of the fortyfive original passengers and crew only sixteen made it off the mountain alive. For ten excruciating weeks they suffered deprivations beyond imagining confronting nature headon at its most furious and inhospitable. And to survive they were forced to do what would have once been unthinkable ... This is their story one of the most astonishing true adventures of the twentieth century.
