This remarkable book draws powerful parallels between surviving extreme high-altitude mountaineering and navigating the challenges of modern business leadership. Drawing on firsthand experiences from some of the world's most dangerous peaks, it explores how the decision-making skills, risk assessment, and mental resilience required in the death zone translate directly to the pressures of the boardroom.

Through compelling real-world examples from both mountaineering expeditions and corporate environments, readers discover practical strategies for managing crisis situations, building effective teams under pressure, and maintaining clarity when stakes are highest. The insights offer a fresh perspective on leadership that goes beyond traditional business theory, grounded instead in the life-or-death decisions made at extreme altitude.
