This book throws light on the uncelebrated lives of some of Pakistan's High-altitude Porters (HAPs), who help mountaineers climb the Pakistan-based high mountain peaks. The book primarily discusses the lives and careers of those HAPs who have summited Pakistan-based eight-thousand-metre peaks. The author has attempted to delve into their lives by digging out adventure and drama in their stories, which makes her work a significant contribution on the literature available on this topic. This book will be the first to record the names of the porters alongside those of the more wealthy climbers who hired them.
Christiane Fladt is a mountaineer, teacher, and an adventure enthusiast. She is a teacher of English and Latin languages in Germany, and also a tourist who first came to Pakistan on a mountaineering expedition in 2002. She has authored two books on mountaineering, and this is her first work on Pakistani high-altitude porters (HAPs).
