Interesting book, didn鈥檛 know a lot the accident before reading it (only have heard of it vaguely). I honestly don鈥檛 get the thrill of climbing such peaks especially since the fatalities aren鈥檛 few. Or at least the extra danger climbers might put themselves through. But hey, don鈥檛 worry they鈥檒l pay someone to carry all of their junk! Rtc.

It's such an old book that was good for its time but now I'm curious about the 2014 avalanche! It was interesting in a way but I had a difficult time listening to the audio at first but then I read more about the incident and it got better :)


Kat I loved this book, but I'd seriously hate to be the sherpas who have to deal with climbers - especially in circumstances like they experienced!

Same here!! It's crazy what they have to do for climbers, I didn't expect that at all..
