Journey Home from Everest

Featuring a new preface by the author and set to be portrayed in the upcoming film Everest, with an all-star cast including Jason Clarke, Josh Brolin, John Hawkes, and more, Beck Weathers shares his incredible story of survival on Mount Everest.

"I can tell you that some force within me rejected death at the last moment and then guided me, blind and stumbling—quite literally a dead man walking—into camp and the shaky start of my return to life." In 1996, Beck Weathers and his climbing team faced a devastating storm on Mount Everest that tore them apart and left them fighting for survival. Rescuers left Weathers for dead after seeing his condition, but miraculously he reappeared hours later, blinded, gloveless, and covered in ice, making his way down the mountain.

In this gripping memoir, now with a new preface, Weathers not only recounts his miraculous escape from hypothermia and the storm that claimed the lives of eight climbers, but also reflects on the journey his life has taken since that tragedy. It is a story of a man's introduction to an extreme sport, his fateful expedition, and the path to recovery he has been on ever since. It is a tale of defiance in the face of death, of rebuilding a family and a life, and of the incredible courage it takes to embrace a second chance at life.

Left for Dead has been praised as a riveting and remarkable survival story that delves deep into the world of climbing and its impact on relationships. It also portrays the challenging journey of a man attempting to reinvent himself in the aftermath of a life-changing event.

With a new preface by Weathers, this powerful memoir is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the determination to overcome insurmountable odds.
