Описание
A professional high-altitude guide's personal account of the Everest disaster described in Into Thin Air. In May 1996 three expeditions attempted to climb Mount Everest's Southeast Ridge, but as darkness approached on 10 May a ferocious and fatal blizzard caught twenty-three men and women, including leaders Scott Fischer and Rob Hall, rendering them completely disorientated and out of oxygen. Alone and climbing blind, Anatoli Boukreev rescued a number of climbers from certain death. This honest and gripping account includes the transcript of the Mountain Madness debriefing, as well as G. Weston DeWalt's history and analysis of the Boukreev - Krakauer debate.
