K2 Tragedy of Limerickman Ger McDonnell focus of book and film

Just hours after Limerick mountaineer Ger McDonnell became the first Irishman to reach the summit of K2 in Aug 2008, he became one of 11 climbers to lose his life on the world’s second highest mountain.
In a new book and film to be launched this month, fellow mountaineer Pat Falvey recounts the details of his friend’s fateful, final adventure. Falvey claims his motivation was to set the record straight about what really happened.
