Title: The defensive tone of this book is a big negative.
Product review: One point I'd like to make is that NO ONE knows the full extent of everything that happened up on Everest that day. Not Krakauer, not Boukreev, NO ONE. It's laughable for a reader to say that one account is more accurate.Having said that, I think that the overall defensive tone of The Climb gets old quickly. While The Climb offers a fresh perspective and new insights, it would've been much more enjoyable if the authors did not spend so much effort trying to refute Krakauer's account. At least Krakauer was willing to admit his mistakes.
