“THE SILENT ESCAPE” delves into intricacies of partnership and emotions that awaken amidst the solitude of Earth's loftiest peaks—an experience rendered ineffable within the confines of every day "civilized" life. Set against the backdrop of an ambitious expedition on Annapurna and Dhaulagiri, the story centres around Bartek Ziemski, the protagonist, whose goal is climbing these eight-thousanders and a ski descend from both of them.
