About this product

Product Information

I am neither churchly nor a particularly spiritual person, but 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. On May 10, 1996, nine climbers perished in a blizzard high on Mount Everest, the single deadliest day ever on the peak. The following day, one of those victims was given a second chance. His name was Beck Weathers. The tale of Dr. Seaborn Beck Weathers's miraculous awakening from a deep hypothermic coma was widely reported. But the hidden story of what led the pathologist to Everest in the first place, and his painful recovery after his dramatic rescue, has not been told until now. Brilliant and gregarious, Weathers discovered in his thirties that mountain climbing helped him cope with the black dog of depression that had shadowed him since college. But the self-prescribed therapy came at a steep cost: estrangement from his wife, Peach, and their two children. By the time he embarked for Everest, his home life had all but disintegrated. Yet when he was reported dead after lying exposed on the mountain for eighteen hours in subzero weather, it was Peach who orchestrated the daring rescue that brought her husband home. Only then, facing months of surgery and the loss of his hands, did Beck Weathers also begin to face himself, his family, his past and uncertain future. Told in Beck Weathers's inimitably direct and engaging voice-with frequent commentary from Peach, their family, their friends and others involved in this unique journey-Left for Dead shows how one man's drive to conquer the most daunting physical challenges ultimately forced him to confront greater challenges within himself. Framed by breathtaking accounts of his near death and resurrection, and of his slow and agonizing physical and emotional recovery, Left for Dead offers a fascinating look at the seductive danger of extreme sports, as in rapid succession a seemingly unstoppable Weathers attacks McKinley, Elbrus, Aconcagua, Kilimanjaro-before fate stops him cold, high in the Death Zone of the world's tallest peak. Full of deep insight and warm humor, Left for Dead tells the story of a man, a marriage and a family that survived the unsurvivable. Candid and uncompromising, it is a deeply compelling saga of crisis and change, and of the abiding power of love and family-a story few readers will soon forget.

    Left for Dead by Beck Weathers, MD

    This is an excellent book. I was very interested in this story because on the day they announced on the TV that Dr Weathers was presumed dead, I was sitting in my Dallas living room. I instantly prayed for his life to be spared. I declared: "Dr. Weathers, you will live and not die and declare the Name of the Lord." I remember that is was a Saturday around 2:00p.m. I had an open vision in which I saw a huge illuminated angel on the mountain go to Dr. Weathers, pick him up and breathed life into him. I actually saw Dr Weathers lying in the snow with his right arm frozen in an upright position. He came alive and He lived. In reading the book, he indicated that his arm was frozen in an upright position and later had to be amputated. I feel I played a part in him being alive today. God ...

    Fantastic Book

    My obsession with Mt. Everest drew me to this account of Beck Weathers miraculous survival of the 1996 tragedy. Well written and compelling. So thrilled that it's signed by Weathers himself.

    Loved this book. Covers all the bases: Why the risk?, What gain?, How did you do it?. Relatively quick read that held my attention throughout. Enjoyed the descriptions of the climb, the struggle, the hubris, and the humility. Great read for anybody interested in big mountain climbing.
