Title: Thanks for giving me a new goal in life!
Review: Like another reader who submitted a review, "Into Thin Air" was the first book about climbing I had ever read. In 1996, as the Mt. Everest tragedy unfolded on the news, I was filled with misdirected anger at the people who, in my opinion, had sacrificed their own lives and ruined the lives of their survivors in an egotistical attempt to prove themselves. After reading "Into Thin Air" and then "High Exposure," I can completely understand the quest. Although I'm well past my climbing days, I now feel a strong pull to trek to Mt. Everest and see and feel its magnificence.The biographical information gives us an important glimpse into the psyche of the climber.
