La première ascension de l'Ogre

During the descent of this terrible face of the Ogre, Doug Scott fractures both legs, then Chris Bonington breaks his ribs. A fierce struggle for their survival then began. After a long ordeal, despite the pain, exhaustion and hunger, they make it out alive. This incredible survival story is one of the greatest mountain adventures of all time.

The book is divided into two distinct parts. In the first part, Doug Scott traces the geological formation and exploration of the Karakoram region in ancient times. The second part is the account of the first ascent of the Ogre.
