Good book!
Really enjoyed this book and read it in a week-always a good sign. Describes the build up and walk to base camp (no easy task) and the climb itself. Tragic consequences and one of the themes is that Everest climbs are more accessable to the wealthy as opposed to experienced climbers.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

A totally humbling read
My goodness this is a powerful read. The bravery and determination of the climbers is absolutely amazing. The trials and severe conditions, I'm amazed any of them successfully climbed to the sumnit of everest. Take a bow all of you and R. I. P the men and women who perished.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
