Did you like it? What’s up next on the reading list?
I did enjoy “Into Thin Air”. It’s an easy read. It made me want to climb a mountain, in all seriousness. Adventures on the Edge is great too – a collection of short stories, some about good experiences on the mountain, some bad. I am feeling into the mountain climbing right now, so probably another book in the same league. “The Climb” is about the same Everest tragedy in 1996 but written from another perspective, so that might be worth a read too.
