Exceptional book, good writing, intense scenes of harrowing events from a trip on THE mountain. Had no idea how much was involved in trying to scale Everest, how long it actually takes, nor just how physically taxing and physically, biologically dangerous it is. Amazing that anyone survives.

A short little banger. Easy to read, decently well written and engaging. I did not take much away other than wow I should not climb a mountain that tall but an enjoyable story.
