Everest: It's Not About the Summit by Alex Roddie, Ellis Stewart
5.0
Breathless writing of a breathtaking journey
For years I was held by the allure of Everest. I even trekked to stand on top of Kala Patthar at 5,545m - above Everest base camp, the Khumbu glacier and opposite Everest itself. But then I lost all interest and turned to other pursuits. Yet this book intrigued me and felt the urge to read Ellis' compelling story. And I am so happy I did.
A wonderful, uplifting and inspiring story of endeavour, adventure, tragedy and dogged determination. Ellis reminded me that a summit is but a moment. It is the climb that precedes that is all the more important and worthwhile. My admiration for those who aspire to climb Everest or any peak has been rekindled. As has my determination to persue my own life goals.
Read this book.
