About this product

Product Information

Jon Krakauer's acclaimed account of a disastrous expedition on Mt Everest This is the true story of a 24-hour period on Everest, when members of three separate expeditions were caught in a storm and faced a battle against hurricane-force winds, exposure, and the effects of altitude, which ended the worst single-season death toll in the peak's history. In March 1996, Outside magazine sent veteran journalist and seasoned climber Jon Krakauer on an expedition led by celebrated Everest guide Rob Hall. Despite the expertise of Hall and the other leaders, by the end of summit day eight people were dead. Krakauer's book is at once the story of the ill-fated adventure and an analysis of the factors leading up to its tragic end. Written within months of the events it chronicles, Into Thin Air clearly evokes the majestic Everest landscape. As the journey up the mountain progresses, Krakauer puts it in context by recalling the triumphs and perils of other Everest trips throughout history. The author's own anguish over what happened on the mountain is palpable as he leads readers to ponder timeless questions.

    • I felt I was there with them

      I watched the film Everest so decided to get the book. I found it a fascinating and compelling book, beautifully written, which detailed the journey of the Adventure Consultants team from Kathmamdu to Everest Base Camp and onwards. I believe he gave a fair and detailed account of what happened during the disaster and it greatly moved me when he discussed the trials and tribulations they suffered during their fight for survival on the mountain.
