The artwork is beautiful but it's a slow-paced story and mystery it was setting up simply didn't hook me.

A great start to a series that I can only expect will continue to be masterful in terms of story telling and art. It's so cool to be up close with these amazing climbers and hear their stories firsthand.

Interesting magna that gives a lot of information about mountaineering and offers an intriguing mystery regarding the missing Mallory expedition on Mt. Everest. Kind of reminded me of the What if series on Disney+ in a way the mystery was set up.

I can't wait to pick the other volumes and read more about this. I'm quite obsessed with mountains and alpinism, so this was obviously made for me. The drawings are unbelievable.

Densely written and illustrated, yet highly immersive and readable. Both the writing and illustration are masterful; the tone is very noir, almost Lynchian in some aspects. I have a strange fascination with mountaineering/rock climbing stories and this one did not disappoint. I'm going to have to hunt down more volumes.
