As far as a "thriller" goes, this book was mid. It didn't make my heart pound or make me feel like the danger was behind me. The killer plot seemed like a footnote to the overall story. 
But for a book that places you on the mountain, it was fantastic. The depictions of the very real and natural dangers were vivid and wonderful. You really fell in love with the characters and their drive to the summit.
This was a story about resilience and passion.
