Ed Viesturs is one of an elite group of mountaineers who have conquered all 14 of the world's eight-thousanders (peaks over 8,000 metres) without the use of oxygen. Here, along with his own breathtaking photographs, Viesturs tells the stories of his climbs in the high Himalaya between 1987 and 2005, including five different routes on Everest, and ascents of Kanchenjunga, K2, Shishapangma, Manaslu, Nanga Parbat and Annapurna.
