Into thin air

Krakauer, Jon (Autor)

Jon Krakauer describes the events leading up to his eventual decision to participate in an Everest expedition in May 1996. The 1996 season expedition recorded 8 deaths, the third most on Everest in a single day. The book chronologically moves between events that take place on the mountain and the unfolding tragedy which takes place during the push to the summit.
