The Climb: Tragic Ambitions on Everest
by Anatoli Boukreev
I feel like this should be a compulsory companion book for anyone who reads Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer. Krakauer’s book is more novelistic and gripping, but I felt reading this book gave me a more balanced view of the tragedy overall and how cultural differences and language barriers, as well as differing personal values, abilities and knowledge of climbing eight-thousanders, may have played a part in the different perspectives each has on what happened that day.
