Product Information

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.

Good book!
Really enjoyed this book and read it in a week-always a good sign. Describes the build up and walk to base camp (no easy task) and the climb itself. Tragic consequences and one of the themes is that Everest climbs are more accessable to the wealthy as opposed to experienced climbers.

A totally humbling read
My goodness this is a powerful read. The bravery and determination of the climbers is absolutely amazing. The trials and severe conditions, I'm amazed any of them successfully climbed to the sumnit of everest. Take a bow all of you and R. I. P the men and women who perished.

Good book
Avery interesting true story. The huge problems that this mountain seems to create for climbers seem too hard to tackle and often ends with the deaths of these intrepid souls.Some 200 of them lie up there ,amazing.
