The Climber, Vol. 4

Mori and the 14 Peaks attack team are more than a week into their complete traverse of the Japanese Alps, but bad weather and worse personalities are making the training seem harder than ascending K2 itself. After Mori is singled out for praise by the expedition leader, he finds himself pushed to the edges of the group when the team is beset by a series of increasingly terrible misfortunes. As conditions worsen, can the team pull together, or are they all on their own against the cold mercy of the mountains?
