Title: a page-turner
Review: Clifford's prose is clean and he's gifted in his ability to hear dialogue and paint realistic descriptions, which draw the reader into the stories in this book. Like all good rescue books, this one is chilling and there are some gruesome details. However, the book doesn't exploit the victims of mountaineering accidents - the author is empathetic to the frailties of both victims and their rescuers.
