Title: Good book
Product review: I've read several Everest books but few cover the Southwest face. I didn't realize when I ordered this book that the 1972 expedition didn't reach the summit, nor escape to the SE ridge. A successful ascent was not to come until 1975. Still, this was a good read and I enjoyed it. If you're looking for a bit of humor in your high-altitude books consider ones authored by Greg Child -- Bonnington's are a tad dry.
