Description
The Death Zone by Matt Dickinson In April 1996, a devastating storm struck Mount Everest, claiming the lives of eight climbers from around the world. Against all odds, film-maker Matt Dickinson and professional climber Alan Hinkes battled through hurricane-force winds to reach the summit. This gripping non-fiction book tells the extraordinary story of that fateful event, based on interviews with the surviving climbers and the author's own experience. The book explores the human side of mountaineering, revealing the desperate attempts of teams on the southern side of the mountain, fatal errors that led to the deaths of three Indian climbers, and the moving story of Rob Hall, the New Zealand guide who stayed with his stricken client and paid the ultimate price. A gripping and thought-provoking account of human triumph, folly, and disaster.
