The true account of what really happens when faced with a life-and-death decision on Everest.

Are you the hero who attempts a rescue against all odds, or do you leave someone behind to continue your selfish dream of getting to the top?

This controversial dilemma exists all too frequently in the world of high-altitude mountaineering and divides opinion.

Devil In The Death Zone is a deeply honest action-based account of a tragic tale of death that delves into the uncomfortable truths surrounding the motivations for climbing Everest and describes, for the first time, the real dark choices and deals made in pursuit of the highest point on Earth.

"This compelling account of Everest rolls along with pace and honesty, at times introspective and thought provoking while at other times side splitting funny. Dom captures well the fear and uncertainty that the climber faces, the deep seated ambition needed, and ultimately the joy of climbing to the highest point on Earth."

-Kenton Cool, renowned mountaineer and multiple Everest Summiteer
