Inspiring and chilling, an all-around great book

I first read this book when I was 8, and it was the one thing that sparked my interest in mountaineering. It is among the great mountaineering books of all time; Annapurna, Into Thin Air, and The Climb. Once you start reading it, it is impossible to put down. An all-around great book.

Gripping read.

Excellent, involving narrative and a fascinating depiction of the dynamics at work among members of a climbing expedition. A must-read for fans of the mountaineering genre, but with broader appeal for anyone who would explore -- from a safe distance -- the limits of human endurance. Read this book.
