The Climb: Tragic Ambitions on Everest
by Anatoli Boukreev
If you read Jon Krakauer's gripping book 'Into Thin Air' - you should read The Climb too.
Both books cover the same tragic commercial climbing season on Mount Everest in 1997, when 8 climbers died during their summit bid.
Krakauer is quite critical of professional guide Anatoli Boukreev. In this book, Bookreev gives his side of the story.
The writing in The Climb is not quite as polished, but it's just as engaging and thought-provoking and provides different perspectives on the events of the 1997 Everest season.
