ผู้เขียน: Kurt Diemberger

Austrian mountaineer Kurt Diemberger is a member of an extremely select club – he is one of only two climbers to have made the first ascent of two of the world’s 8, 000-metre peaks: Broad Peak in 1957 and Dhaulagiri in 1960. Diemberger is also one of the top high-altitude filmmakers in the world and an accomplished writer, and his books – including The Endless Knot, about the 1986 K2 disaster – have enjoyed popularity around the globe. He is now recognised as one of the finest chroniclers of the contemporary mountain scene, with his writing guaranteed to enlighten, move and entertain. In 2013, Diemberger was awarded the Piolet d’Ors lifetime achievement award.
