A wonderful book: another first- person narrative and perspective of what happened on Everest in 1996. My reading of this story comes at the perfect time: the current triumph of the first American woman to summit Everest without oxygen, as well as recent deaths on top of Everest.
I find the stories of mountain climbing fascinating; the courage, hubris, adventurers...although I love climbing and hiking and hope to trek across many countries one day, I don't (as of yet ha ha) have an interest in doing anything as crazy as a desire to summit 8000+ peaks. Too frickin cold!!! Another 250 pages read, I think all the books that I have read --and will read in this lifetime--if, piled or stacked, will surpass the height of the peak of Everest!
