For eighteen years Ed Viesturs chased every mountaineer's dream: to reach the top of 14 eight-thousanders without the help of oxygen. At the top without shortcuts is the story of the realization of his dream, but it is also much more: it is the story of a man torn between the life of affection and everyday life and the charm of the majestic and mortally dangerous places of his expeditions. An extraordinarily prudent mountaineer, who was able to give up on the summit of Everest less than 100 meters from the goal and who would never have given up on the summit of Annapurna, the mountain on which half of those who conquer the summit succumb. A mountaineer whose motto is: "Reaching the top is optional, going back is mandatory." And it is precisely by following this philosophy that Viesturs describes the fatal errors of judgment committed by his fellow mountaineers, together with some risks taken by himself, and the valiant rescues carried out. And, for the first time, he explains in detail the fundamental and heroic role he found himself playing during the tragedy that occurred on Everest in 1996, made famous by "Thin Air", by Jon Krakauer. But "To the summit without shortcuts" also tells of lighter and funnier moments, which reveal the friendship and spirit of solidarity between climbers. And it is the portrait of a courageous and devoted husband and family man, and of the convictions that supported his very dangerous and magnificent challenge to the eight-thousanders.
