Gripping and chilling story. I read online about the controversy between Boukreev and Krakauer and can't discern who's more right. This is my first mountaineering book and I am hooked. It gave me fresh insights about high-altitude climbing, Everest mountain fever and commercialization, why people purse it, enduring pain and will, sense of purpose.
Sometimes it’s hard to tell, if it’s mountain’s calling, or death’s calling. Some of us just born to live on the edge of death to feel alive. When survival instinct kicks in, morality seems like afterthoughts.

why do we cross the river? why do we climb the mountain? what do we try to prove?

也许从此就喜欢上探险故事了。当然,生命在自然面前都是一样的脆弱,不管我们是不是已经登上了月球

每一个都令人心碎心塞。人性里所携带的一切,对与错,都止于死亡。死亡是跟所有问题都不同的一个问题。超出问题本身的问题。本学期完成的第一本阅读教材。 另,不知怎么搞的,读书每像贴面而过,总是沾染了一点什么才走。这是我在死亡之前做的其中一件事。

看登山纪录片很容易让人热血沸腾,但看这本书会让人血凉下来。山是极端环境,和被困孤岛洞穴其实差不多,在山上,人也是被异化的。不是人征服了山,而是山接纳了人。书很白,跟登山运动的白一脉相承

以前只知道登珠峰难,但不知道会这么难!难道那些离去的人就这样永远的被留在山间?

很難想象作者所經歷的一切,客觀誠實的敘述,所以打動人心。

I literally spent a working day and half finishing listening to this book. Utterly fascinated by the people and the story. Best “read” of the year!

Always critical and logic american style. But it is a very scarce first-hand resource about problems in commercialized mountaineering.

如果这辈子没机会登上珠穆朗玛峰,那么看看别人的经历,也许是不错的选择。这是一部关于真实的,并且失败的商业登山活动的故事。
