paigelindsay89 's review for:
The Climb: Tragic Ambitions on Everest
by Anatoli Boukreev
This book had me on the edge almost the whole time. A year or so ago I read Krakauer's Into This Air, which chronicled the events of the 1996 Everest climbing season and the push to the summit that lost 8 lives in one night.
This book was written by Anatoli Boukreev, a Russian guide that was hired to consult and guide a new team, Mountain Madness, under the main guide of Scott Fisher. Anatoli helped guide the other team that pushed for the summit with Rob Hall's Adventure Consultant team (the team that Krakauer climbed with).
There has always been an air of confusion about what went wrong that day and what really happened. It was fascinating to read another side of this heartbreaking story.
