Picked this book randomly and was pleasantly surprised.

Two highly ambitious rock-climbers set off to a promising new site, dreaming of the success this venture might bring them. Accompanied by a reliable researcher and another skilled climber/partner, they entered a place that will not let them leave.

It's a doomed survival story filled with ghosts, morbid hallucinations and gore.

If you enjoy The Ruin (Scott Smith), The Laws of The Skies (Gregoire Courtoise), or any other gnarly-slow-suffering-to-death type of horror, this might be for you!

the writing was great but overused allegories and metaphors, pacing kept you from getting bored, spooks were spooky enough but not scary, i’d say like a 2 outta 10 on the scary scale

sad about slade /: and i felt so bad for luke
