Description
The Climb: A harrowing account of the 1996 Mount Everest disaster, as experienced mountaineer Anatoli Boukreev recounts his role in the tragic events. On May 1996, a severe blizzard struck, catching twenty-three climbers, including expedition leaders, off guard. Boukreev led a group back to base camp before returning to the storm to rescue those stranded, emerging as a hero. This book is based on Boukreev's own experiences and includes interviews with surviving climbers, medical personnel, Sherpa guides, and families of the deceased. The edition includes the transcript of the Mountain Madness debriefing, recorded five days after the tragedy, and G. Weston de Walt's response to Jon Krakauer. An unflinching look at an unforgettable mountaineering disaster. The Climb is a gripping and honest account of one of the most devastating mountaineering disasters in history.
